Yes but with caveats...

1) As more is known about long covid and especially whether the vaccines are effective at preventing it, guidance may change.

2) What you'd really want is that the dominant strain is eventually a less virulent mutation, or even one which lost its ability for airborne transmission. At that point, we probably could just treat it as "just another virus". Obviously I don't know much about it but from what I understand, the obvious successful evolutionary path for a virus is to be less virulent, as killing the host is not a successful strategy for survival.

But hey, flu jabs are the norm every year these days, so maybe that would be the case for the rest of our lives? Let's hope not, but if we get to the stage where annual vaccination is the only measure recommended by the medical profession then that's also a good result I'd say.
