"notice you said boosterS will be needed...
How many yearly?"
Authorities will have a problem administering each booster vaccination to the population in less than 3 months.
The more infections that occur, the faster the virus can be expected to mutate, and possibly, the more boosters per year will be required.
I would suggest this country's population could expect a maximum of four booster jabs per year, administered by present vaccination teams.
The Americans have been trying to develop a 'vaccination' that can be swallowed in pill form, but AFAIK have not succeeded yet. That is the only way we can get so many people 'vaccinated' a lot more quickly.
Can we develop new vaccines (taking around a year) before new variants appear, in that timescale, capable of evading the new design?
If we can't, you know where we can be found in the original barbed wire canoe.
