COVID-19 and the vaccination effort

摘要

The COVID-19 pandemic has defined the year 2020 and the response from the scientific community has been overwhelming. Countless researchers from across the world have postponed work on their projects to shift focus to some aspect of COVID-19 biology. As a result, great progress has been made in our understanding of the disease and the first vaccine candidates entered the initial stages of human testing within months after the emergence of COVID-19 [1].
