They simply do not know. I think I read that typically a strain is in circulation for 3 months or so. This one is different in that it has a such a large possibility of mutating, and rendering much of the current vaccine not as effective as it is right now.

I am no medical expert and most of my info has been gleaned from reading things and knowing a few people in the field, but beyond that I think many people have as many questions as answers right now.
