Nobody knows for sure.
We know that we need different flu vaccines every year and
even then it's still not enough.

Haven't they discovered a new strain of the virus?  Won't that affect the vaccine?  They'll need to start again?

88-year-old dies hours after vaccine;

An 88-year-old man died at a Jerusalem hospital Tuesday, hours after receiving the coronavirus vaccine, with doctors stressing in a statement that the patient had serious preexisting health problems.

The man had received the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine during the afternoon as part of Israel’s mass inoculation program. He later collapsed at home.

Paramedics called to the scene worked to resuscitate him as they rushed him to Hadassah Mount Scopus Medical Center where doctors later pronounced his death. Discouraging any link between the shot and the death, the hospital said the man suffered from “chronic, complex and difficult” health conditions, without specifying.




It was the second reported death to happen
hours after an elderly Israeli received the inoculation.

On Monday, a man, 75, received a vaccine shot in his northern hometown of Beit She’an. After waiting an obligatory half an hour at the medical clinic, he was released home, saying he felt fine. Some time after getting home, he lost consciousness and was later pronounced dead as a result of heart failure.
