[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 4153566, member: 42584"] What makes me curious about is why, if the flu virus continues to mutate year after year which requires a new vaccine each year to spur your immune system into making different anti-bodies to fight that particular strain of flu, then why doesn't other viruses like measles or chicken pox also require yearly vaccines to prevent getting the [B]new strain[/B] of measles or chicken pox from viruses that should also be constantly mutating? Or can anyone tell me why [B]only [/B]the flu and Covid-19 viruses seem to mutate whereas no other virus does? [/QUOTE]
