Abstract

Vaccination is an effective, simple, safeway of providing protection against harmful diseases, before contact with public. Vaccination develops immunity to particular infections and makes our immune system stronger to produce antibodies. Most of the vaccines are administered by parenteral route, but few are given by mouth or sprayed into the nose.We should believe fair and equitable access to safe and effective vaccines is only weapon to end the pandemic, so WHO is hugely working with an effort to encourage the partners to develop and manufacture safe and effective vaccines, a challenging game tool, but in the future we must continue wearing masks, sanitizing our hands, with good ventilation indoors, physical distancing and avoid crowding. Being vaccinated does not mean that we can throw caution to the wind and put ourselves and others at risk, particularly because research is still ongoing on how much vaccines gives protection against disease, infection and transmission.Vaccines may not guarantee protection from infection, they are still doing an amazing job of substantially reducing hospitalization and death related to Covid 19.
