Great news.....94.5% effective rate is awesome.....until Covid-19 mutates.....Never underestimate nature and the will of all things to survive..

Once you have a working vaccine it can be fairly easily tweaked to match mutations, they do this every year with the annual flu vaccine.

What if this one is different than the common flu? There are no guarantees in life.

COVID-19 is already totally different from the flu, not even the same family of viruses. Once you have a working vaccine against the disease, you can use that as a baseplate to build on, tweaking it to block new mutations and variations more quickly than building a new vaccine from scratch.
