While it is true the vaccines have been developed and approved in an unbelievably fast timeframe, it is also reasonable to assume some potential problems from that process. There is a reason it typically takes years to get FDA approvals - many many studies, and tracking those in the studies, for long term effectiveness or issues/side effects. I am not anti-vaccine and will get one as soon as I am eligible, but realize that there is additional risk due to the speedy approval.
