Abstract

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in late December 2019 has taken the world by storm. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) named this virus COVID-19. To date, it has infected approximately 186 million people worldwide and is attributed as the cause of death of more than 5 million people (and this number is only increasing.) The global effort to develop vaccines and therapeutics occurred at the fastest pace yet, with several vaccines' approval under emergency authorization use. There are also several post-marketing side effects, including myocarditis, cerebral venous embolism, and Guillain Barre Syndrome. Global vaccine disparity complicates the control of pandemic challenges. Several highly infectious variants have emerged, and more variants are feared to emerge if global vaccination plans are not developed soon.

Highlights

  • The COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to infect human lives across the globe, is far from over

  • In the race of vaccine development to halt the rapid progression of the virus, which is causing an increase in morbidity and mortality, Phase II and III trials were run concurrently [5]

  • Vaccine producers like the Serum Institute of India and other significant global laboratories were contacted by vaccine developers to produce vaccines on a large scale.Several vaccines began to emerge, despite the fact that they had not yet been published in peer-reviewed journals [10]
