The change is partly that the effectiveness wanes after a few months and partly that its less effectively again new variants like Delta and Omicron. You can create delta+omicron mRNA vaccines to deal the second problem, but the first problem is much harder--and maybe impossible--to deal with.
This is why we had low cases during the summer of 2021. The vaccine mostly worked at stopping the spread. It no longer does.
