agree  María C Turri: Me parece adecuada esta respuesta porque he oído que suele haber pandemias cada 100 años, aproximadamente, con lo cual esta sería "la pandemia del siglo" que nos toca vivir.

un evento pandémico de 100 años


Explanation:
Aunque me gusta la propuesta de Victor, creo que se refiere a la duración del evento y no al impacto.

la pandemia de cada 100 años / de cada siglo


Explanation:
En este caso se refiere a la periodicidad.
La pandemia del siglo parece aludir a la mayor pandemia del siglo, mientras que una pandemia de 100 años parece aludir a su duración.
Como dicho, en este caso se alude, casi con seguridad, a su periodicidad; la última "gorda" antes el covid fue la de 1908...

agree  Ramon Armora: Yo diría "La pandemia de los 100 años"

  -> Sí, funciona también, aunque es ambiguo; fíjate en la respuesta de Verónica (la guerra de los 100 años), con un sentido distinto (que dura 100 años vs. que ocurre cada 100 años). Muchas gracias, Ramón ;)
