So if there was an injectable birth control medication
that if you had it administered you could still get pregnant and therefore should still wear a condom..... Would you get the injection?

If I was told before the injection that it wasn't 100% effective, then yes. Obviously. A condom is not 100% effective; nor is birth control. You can still get pregnant despite taking these precautions. Happens all the time.
Same goes for vaccines. No vaccine is 100% effective, hence why some still suffer afterwards. But if the trend is that those who are vaccinated are demonstrably less likely to experience some if any symptoms, then it's doing its job.
A vaccinated 80 year old is still at as much risk as an unvaccinated 50 year old. Age, as well as many other things (i.e. underlying health conditions, diet, fitness) will play a role in how effective a given vaccine is.
It's all about risk, and what precautions you're prepared to take.
