I haven't found decent information on what those trials find after a year, 3 years, 5 years, 10+ years... I'm sure a lot of it is a matter of figuring out why a vaccine adversely effects a small portion of people, and seeing those effects right away.... versus people suddenly dropping dead 5 years later or developing some other disease that can be linked to the vaccine, etc.
It's something I've been curious about with previous research and trials, if it's just being super diligent or if they routinely learn new things years later.

Yes Moderna has been trying to bring a drug to market for about 10 years before their covid vaccine. All failed to make it past the mid trial phase.
With any drug sometimes you don't see all the effects right away. With how complicated the human body is we can't always predict how it will react.
Good/ Bad news is we are basically in the biggest stage 3 trial ever conducted. If everything goes well and long term safety is proven. Mrna technology could advance our medical capabilites 10 fold. Basically make fighting cancer with things like chemo look barbaric.
