ABSTRACT
Objective: To present data regarding vaccination against COVID-19. Material and methods: Published information was reviewed regarding population studies assessing the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in different populations. Results: Effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine varies in diverse populations, mainly due to the platforms employed while developing the vaccines. Nevertheless, currently there is a broad spectrum of vaccine options, with adequate efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, and good effectiveness. Conclusions: Universal vaccination, together with the acquired immunity due to the disease, and non-pharmacological measures to prevent infection, like mask usage and social distancing, will help diminish the burden that this disease has posed to global health.REFERENCES
