Mutations happen all the time regardless of vaccines. The vaccine adds evolutionary pressure and will likely give an advantage to the bearers of particular mutations.

If the virus has a smaller base of infected people who grow it, there will be less mutations. From that point of view, the sooner all the world is vaccinated, the better. The risk of a new, more dangerous mutation decreases.
