What Role Did Vaccines Play in Managing the Pandemic?
Vaccination has been a cornerstone in the fight against COVID-19. Several vaccines, including those developed by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca, received emergency use authorization rapidly due to accelerated clinical trials. These vaccines have been instrumental in reducing severe disease, hospitalizations, and deaths. Public health campaigns focused on increasing vaccine uptake and combating vaccine hesitancy, which remains a significant challenge.
