In recent weeks, the approval and rollout of several vaccines has raised hopes of mitigating and eventually overcoming the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has cost the lives of nearly 2 million people and changed the world in a profound way throughout the past year.
The rapid development of vaccines designed to protect against the virus has been hailed as “astonishing” by public health experts such as Dr. Barry R. Bloom, former dean of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
The COVID-19 pandemic “triggered the fastest and most wide-reaching response to a global health emergency in human history,” said World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “Vaccines offer great hope to turn the tide of the pandemic. We must ensure that all people at risk everywhere, not just in countries who can afford vaccines, are immunized.”
