To tell you the truth, nobody can answer your question because all Covid-19 vaccines are less than 1 year old and mRNA vaccines cause immunity by a new technique so only does time answer your question. However, risk vs benefit, the current scientific fact is the vaccines do protect pregnant people and their fetuses.

If your concern is the mRNA vaccine, you can take a non mRNA vaccine. Visit this site for information about different types of vaccines: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/different-types-of-covid-19-vaccines/art-20506465
