Yes; it's not known whether current vaccines will help against it 😬

@helenS and they just had to release a new adaption on Stephen Kings The Stand right at this moment

@helenS Of course vaccines are effective against it it's the same corona virus that has mutated to spread faster

@TJNewton but if its mutated once, it could mutate again, this time into something worse

@TJNewton The point is the efficiency of the vaccine – at the moment it's about 90%, meaning that 9 out of ten vaccinated people will not become infected.

@Jm31xxx All viruses mutate it isn't more deadlier than it's previous incarnation

@helenS Thats the same statistics for the CV virus now
