Vaccinating 8.5 billions of people in a very amount of time is clearly not a reasonable goal to begin with. Even without war, extreme poverty, lack of access and political chicaneries about the who and what.
Humanity's best minds have been trying for years to create a vaccine for coronaviruses that last without success. Now we've tried to do this in less than a year and we don't know the long term effects, therapeutic or otherwise; and if someone does please provide your time traveling machine to the nearest university at once.
So yeah, the virus will become endemic, variants will appear constantly. What we do now is not a decision the people in white coat or black robes can or should answer.
