The unprecedented coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is triggered by a novel strain of coronavirus namely, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Researchers are working around the clock to control this pandemic and consequent waves of viral reproduction, through repurposing existing drugs as well as designing new vaccines. Several countries have hastened design and clinical trials to quickly address this outbreak. Currently, more than 250 aspirants against SARS-CoV-2 are in progress, including mRNA- replicating or non-replicating viral vectored-, DNA-, autologous dendritic cell-based-, and inactivated - Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. vaccines. Vaccines work by prompting effector mechanisms such as cells/molecules, which target quickly replicating pathogens and neutralize their toxic constituents. Vaccine-stimulated immune effectors include adjuvant, affinity, avidity, affinity maturation, , -presenting cells, B lymphocytes, carrier protein, Received 13th November 2020 CD4+ T-helper cells.

Table 3 COVID-19 aspirant developers and their significant details99a a Comparison between previous vaccines and COVID-19 vaccines Comparing COVID-19 vaccine novelty may seem challenging, but it is normal for queries to arise on a vaccine’s overall potential, safety, toxicity and its side effects etc.,100a and some of the efficacy, efficiency and safety of the COVID-19 frontrunner vaccines can be determined by comparison with other vaccines, like u vaccines. For example, Pzer/BioNTech released their COVID-19 vaccine initially in the UK and USA, and the rest of the world could see their effectiveness. However, prior to this demonstration the three prominent COVID-19 vaccines – Pzer/ BioNTech claims an efficacy of 95%, the Oxford/AstraZeneca provides 70%, and the Moderna is stated as 94.1% efficacy – were compared with other available vaccines such as the u, polio, and measles, which helped provide their effectiveness and efficiency predictions. It is important to discuss here that “effectiveness” and “efficacy” are different.100b Efficacy states how a vaccine performs in ideal lab circumstances, like those present in clinical trials. Whereas, effectiveness means how the vaccine works in normal, non-controlled conditions. For example, in a , 90% efficacy refers to 90% lower disease rates in

But, the members in a group selected for a clinical trial have to be in good health and young and they usually have no under- lying health conditions. Besides, medical researchers will not generally consider some demographics in these clinical research studies like children/pregnant women. Thus, once a vaccine is able to prevent disease in clinical trials, we may observe the effectiveness drop when directed to different demographics. This article is licensed under a Vaccines do not necessarily need high effectiveness to protect several thousands of lives from disease. For instance, the vaccine for u100c has 40–60% effectiveness according to Open Access Article. Published on 08 June 2021. Downloaded 9/28/2021 7:21:02 PM. CDC data. During 2018–19, this vaccine prevented millions of inuenza cases and its associated illness, but determining the exact effectiveness rate is challenging. Dosages can also increase effectiveness for some vaccines. The two doses of a vaccine can give a protection boost, nevertheless this advan- tage is sometimes limited to only certain groups like children/ organ transplanted people. The booster dosage may not provide an advantage in people aged 65 years. Through comparing vaccines, like the ones for polio and measles, we see heavy dosages are needed to realize effectiveness. Polio vaccines100d should be up to 100% effective. According to the CDC, “Two inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) dosages have 90% effectiveness; three dosages are 99–100% effective.” The IPV vaccine prevents poliomyelitis (poliovirus), which can acti- vate infection in the brain and spinal cord leading to paralysis. The MMR vaccine100e defends against measles, mumps, and rubella, which tends to have up to 97% effectiveness at inhib- iting measles once directed in two dosages. A single dose is a Vaccine candidate list and relevant information shown according to around 93% effective, as reported by the CDC. They suggest to the World Health Organization (WHO) statistical data for COVID-19 during 2019–2020. Clinical research data (last updated on January 08, give the initial dose at “12–15 months of age, followed by the 2021) may be variable. second dose at 4–6 years.”
