The virus will not make norovirus a thing of the past, like polio or whooping cough. In fact, the results of the clinical trials I've seen are not very promising. Of course, my goal has always been to not vomit at all, not simply to have less vomiting with a norovirus infection. So if you have only a mild dislike of vomiting and not a phobia of it, you'd probably be happier with the vaccine. If you have 4 kids who puke a lot, the virus might mean there would be only a handful of pukes in your house instead of two dozen in a winter. But from an emet's standpoint, the vaccine is not a game-changer.
