Corona Virus, like the Influenza and measles virus is an RNA virus. It can and will mutate slowly which may make it worse or it may mutate into something weaker.
DNA virus strains are less likely to mutate and are easier to treat , manage and contain / eradicate with a single strain vaccine. ( HPV , herpes etc... )
Any vaccine we develop for COVID will always need to be modified. In the background we still have SARS and MERS coronavirus active so going forward we may need some sort of Corona trivalent vaccine ??
Any way you look at it, we’ll need to have constant vigilance now and onwards.
