Viruses that have high mutation rates are especially challenging for vaccine development. Why is this?
The developed vaccines tend to be unstable and deteriorate rapidly.
These viruses have so many protein fragments that interfere with the host's immune system.
The high mutation rate constantly changes the viral proteins.
These viruses do not contain the typical protein coat on their externall surface.
These viruses are able to actually degrade the vaccine using proteases.
