The swine flu virus mutations were found all over the world. It is possible that the vaccines won't protect us because vaccines are effective only for the particular strain of virus which was used in their creation. There can be also new types of the virus which will be resistant to the Tamiflu. Fortunately, in current situation we don't have to worry about the effectiveness of this drug but more could appear in the near future.
