New study finds coronavirus variants will likely evolve, escape current generation of vaccines

A new study examining the efficacy of current generation of vaccines against the UK and South Africa variants of SARS-CoV-2 makes for sobering reading, and raises the specter of widespread reinfection.

begs the question whether the coronavirus is something similar to the seasonal flu meaning the constant monitoring of new mutations and developing new vaccines every year.

There are also reinfections, ppl getting infected again. A doctor frnd of mine told me recently that their frnd once tested positive and had mild symptoms, after few months, he got reinfected and this time he went on ventilator. Everyone thought 2nd infection if happens would be milder than first but in this case the 2nd one was stronger. One case doesn't represent anything but if this happens more then it is really really worrying.

Take a look at H3N2
They trying and trying to get vaccine for 50 years

And that $@#$^&#@# kept mutating and mutating
See the beautiful flower-like blossoming over 50 years

H3N2 is 50 years old and still going strong

The H3N2 influenza viruses have only been with us since 1968 but their constantly evolving offspring continue to cause the world trouble in 2019.
