Pros: you won't get COVID.
Cons: maybe a sore arm for a day.

Pick your favorite.

@NerdyPotato the vaccine won’t stop you getting Covid, you can still get it and pass it on.

@SW-User you can still catch and pass on Sars-CoV-2 (the virus), but you won't get COVID-19 (the disease) or only an extremely light version.

@SW-User And anyway, once everyone eligible has gotten their shot, it's a non-issue if it'll only causes a mild disease. We spread viruses that cause mild diseases all the time.

The problem exists so long as there's still a significant percentage of people who haven't got immunized yet, and for them it isn't mild.

@Elessar I know, he stated you can’t get it but you can and still pass it on but obviously it’s not life threatening and milder.
