SARS-CoV-2 immunity and an overview of the COVID-19 vaccines

The remarkable development of a large number of vaccines against COVID-19 in a very short period of time represents one of the greatest successes of medicine and science in history, and mass vaccination at the global level will be crucial for prevention and mitigation of COVID-19. However, there are...
