The largest vaccination campaign in history: A golden opportunity for bundling public health interventions

摘要

One year after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic in March 2020 [1], more than 110 million COVID-19 cases, and two and half million deaths COVID-19 deaths were reported globally by the end of February 2021 [2]. The global efforts of governments, organizations, and private firms in developing vaccines were successful, and various vaccines (eg, Pfizer and BioNTech, Moderna, and Sinopharm) are being mass-produced and globally distributed. By the end of February 2021, more than 250 million people have been vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus in the world [3]. However, billions of people have not received the COVID-19 vaccination, and the biggest vaccination campaign in history will be ongoing for the foreseeable future.
