Abstract
There is a propitious belief that a potent
vaccine against the SARS-COV-2 virus is a
panacea for the COVID-19 pandemic. The
need for a potent vaccine is heightened as
many nations are finding it counterproductive to sustain national lockdowns and individuals are becoming complacent with their
hygiene and social (physical) distancing
practices. Currently, there are more than 100
COVID-19 vaccine candidates under development, with a number of these in the human
trial phase. It is suggested that the introduction of a COVID-19 vaccine will prevent the
loss of US$375 billion to the global economy
every month.1
