The mutation is very minor. They've examined several strains of it and none of it seems like its too far off so a vaccine should still work. Unknowns are the dosages. If you look at the clinical trials of one of the phase 1 studies, they're testing 3 dosages, a 25 mcg, 100 mcg and 250 mcg across 3 different age groups.

And maybe contract tracing will keep the infection rates down. There's a free online course about it.
