Do you think COVID will become like the flu with new strains each year and new vaccines that vary in their effectiveness?

Will we be getting “COVID shots” alongside “flu shots” each year? So far it doesn’t seem like COVID is seasonal like the flu is, though.

What makes a virus more likely to be eradicated with a vaccine (like smallpox and polio) and another more likely to continue to mutate and stick around forever (as the flu and cold have done)?

Not to be a “negative Nancy”. I’m just wondering if this could happen.
