Polio vaccine - 1950
Measles vaccine - 1963
Smallpox vaccine - 1796 (also the first ever vaccine)
Covid-19 vaccine - 2020
I'm curious what similarities (and differences) this vaccine has to others. From my understanding it's basically a modified version of existing vaccines so the long-term effects and safety should be pretty similar.

Of course, context is important
But when talking about "long term ramifications" there's only one thing that will tell the story, and that's time.
