I expect there will be a workable vaccine within the next year. How effective it will be is up in the air, but any major lessening in the chance of getting it will be worthwhile. The real implication hasn't hit anyone. Once a vaccine is available, I could easily see conventions requiring proof of vaccination or an antibody test showing immunity to register. I'd personally be fine with that. I'm sure there are antivaxxers in the fandom (stupid and uneducated as they are) who'll scream and flail if that happens though.
