Yeah. Influenza is also a segmented virus. The RNA is composed of eight segments. The virus can produce new strains by shuffling segments between to different strains when a cell is infected by both. Influenza can mutate very quickly.
Simple single stranded viruses like Covid19 are vastly more stable. A good vaccine as long as we force everyone to take it will wipe out covid19.
