Vaccination will create pressures selecting for variants that escape vaccine-generated antibodies.

The vaccine is ~95% effective. This means you're going to have a lot of people get infected still with the vaccine's antibodies present; any mutation that happens that causes escape from these antibodies will prolong disease and increase transmission, even if that mutation renders the virus a bit less fit in a non-vaccinated host.
