Physicians will say most vaccines that come out will give 60% to 90% protection, and the range will be narrowed down after a year when the data comes in. Initial testing however shows the efficacy of the vaccine nearer to the 90% mark.
short answer, no vaccine can give you 100% protection
However, this vaccine is really unique in that it'll be the most closely monitored in history, due to the awareness and controversy surrounding H1N1. Every major country is collecting data and analyzing it in real time, something that was only recently possible
