If a vaccine is tested in the wild, does it introduce an additional unique risk to society?

It's an infectious disease that mutates. A vaccine may be partially effective in the treated person, but also increase the risk of viral mutation leading to increased infectivity or virulence.

I have no authority or evidence, just a hunch. But if correct it seems that we cannot adford to just shrug and say "it's your funeral, mate"
