I'm at the lung clinic, so strapped on time: this is a good (old) article, and references influenza, but discusses "herd immunity/vaccine".
As with any vaccine, problem will fall into compliance. Would be willing to bet the same bucking masks will be the same group that says no to the vaccine.
As we know little about SARSCOV2, not sure but would "GUESS" that a vaccine MAY be annual not one and done. But again.... that is ONLY me surmising.
