Three Ways Forward to Improve Regional Information for Extreme Events: An Early Career Perspective
Covid-19 vaccinations : the unknowns, challenges and hopes
The entire world has been suffering from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVIDâ19)
pandemic since March 11, 2020. More than a year later, the COVIDâ19 vaccination
brought hope to control this viral pandemic. Here, we review the unknowns of the
COVIDâ19 vaccination, such as its longevity, asymptomatic spread, longâterm side
effects, and its efficacy on immunocompromised patients. In addition, we discuss
challenges associated with the COVIDâ19 vaccination, such as the global access and
distribution of vaccine doses, adherence to hygiene guidelines after vaccination, the
emergence of novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSâCoVâ2)
variants, and vaccine resistance. Despite all these challenges and the fact that the
end of the COVIDâ19 pandemic is still unclear, vaccines have brought great hope for
the world, with several reports indicating a significant decline in the risk of
COVID19ârelated infection and hospitalizations.peer-reviewe
