I know it isn’t but it will be monitored and managed annually like the flu

And if one of the mutations finds a way round the vaccine, that defeats all the work we have put in already.

No evidence of that, the vaccine producers have already gone on record that they can adapt and develop the vaccines to address other strains as and when they might appear.

Vaccinate the vulnerable, manage the risks, live our lives.
