And since we - or rather the virus - are not that "advanced" as yet, that would call for further mutations with the result most likely being a new more lethal strain not affected by our current vaccines.

Its doesn't work that way. Even if the flu mutates, allowing transmission between humans, the current vaccine will still be effective. As for mutating again once its in humans.........that takes a few months to happen which allows us time to reformulate the vaccine like we now do every year for the regular flu.
