Would new mRNA vaccines need to undergo stringent safety/efficacy testing as well? As I understand it, you make the bit of mRNA you want and stuff it onto the vector, which then deploys it into the cells. Once the technique is mature and well-understood, wouldn't it be much quicker to roll out vaccines for all sorts of things?

Yes, that's the huge leap forward made with this tech versus traditional vaccines. It turns vaccine development into a software problem, instead of hardware problem. For instance, we'll be able to rapidly roll out new flu vaccines for the latest strains and produce them on demand, rather than making a guess at which ones will be circulating a year ahead of time and committing to mass production of those.
