Vaccination has been positioned as the main tool to face the Covid-19 pandemic. Thanks to the pharmaceutical industry, several immunization options were developed in record time. Before one year of the first case of this new disease, the biological one was generated. Its objective is to help generate antibodies and in this way avoid serious pictures of the disease that can lead to hospitalizations or deaths.
Now, it is necessary to point out that this is not a miracle solution. The inoculations are not perfect and therefore it is necessary to follow and maintain measures such as constant hand washing and social distancing. If they are not fulfilled, there may be outbreaks such as those that have already been presented.
Another aspect that puts vaccination against Covid-19 at risk is the appearance of new variants. When the virus transforms it can become more infectious and decrease the effectiveness of biologics.
Given the above, it is essential that the majority of the population receive the corresponding immunization as soon as possible. Otherwise all the efforts made could be insufficient and true control would never be achieved.
Advance around the world
In that sense, another serious problem is the uneven pace of vaccination campaigns against Covid-19 around the world. From the information published by Our World In Data It can be seen that the most advanced area at the moment is the European Union. So far 63 percent of the adult population already has the complete immunization scheme.
While Japan is also an admirable case because it was one of the last countries to start with the application of biological. The campaign has maintained a stable rhythm and at the moment 61.8 percent of the population is already protected.
On the other hand, the United States is experiencing the opposite situation. Although it was one of the first to start with the application of the vaccine, in recent weeks it has suffered a decrease due to the denial of some sectors. The consequence is that it has stagnated and just over half the population already has the complete scheme.
With respect to Mexico, despite the initial problems, there is now a favorable progress. Although there are anti-vaccine groups, they are very few and have not had the impact that in other nations. At this time, 49.1 percent of adults already have full protection against Covid-19.
