COMMENT: Will first vaccine work against subsequent waves?
Submitted by Sharon Hutchins on 12/5/07 10:22 AM
If we're talking about a scenario in which infection in the first wave does not confer immunity to the mutated virus which will cause subsequent waves, I think we also will have to worry that the vaccine (derived from the original strain 3-6 months earlier at least) will also no longer provide protection against the newer strain(s). So, we may then need to go through the vaccine development process all over again, playing catch up with the virus. Let's all hope that the virus does not mutate this much this quickly, or I think we're left with non-pharmaceutical (or at least non-vaccine) options.
