Could the rush to develop covid vaccine cause more harm in the long term?

Vaccines are critical public health interventions because they prevent disease at population level, both protecting vaccinated individuals and curbing community transmission. That important aim, however, occurs only if the approved vaccine works well.
Development of safe vaccine usually takes years, but with corona there has been a mad rush to develop the various vaccines and administer to and especially the vulnerable groups who are not usually involved in clinical trials without really fully understanding the long-term effects of the vaccine.
Whether the vaccines developed will cause more harm than good in the longrun is yet to be seen.
