> Vaccination isn’t long-term exposure but a brief immune trigger — this is very different from medication being taken over a long term

What could be the risks of taking booster shots every 6 months?

It's unlikely to be that frequent — I'd expect more like the annual combined flu + COVID vaccinations being tested — but again, there's nothing in the history of vaccination suggesting that would be a high risk. Vaccines trigger your immune system and it doesn't have delayed action mechanisms which would trigger a response months later.
