Both the virus and the vaccine may have long-term unknown effects. Of course, we simply don't have the data in this case.
In prior viruses and vaccines, are there examples in which similar viruses and/or vaccines had much different short-term effects than long-term effects?
For example, virus A or vaccine X had minor short-term effects and side effects, but drastically different long-term (multi-year) effects?
Or, is each virus and vaccine so different that my question is not a good question to begin with?
