A vaccine induces immunity in a sufficient number of people to prevent the spread of a disease. Good news is that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was relatively stable which makes it more likely that a vaccine will be developed. There are many vaccines. There are four main types of vaccines. One is a vaccine that is based on the entire virus. Two is a vaccine that uses a benign viral vector to carry the antigen of SARS.CoV. Three are nucleic-acid vaccines with genetic material such as DNA and RNA of antigens, which can be given to people, helping them decode genetic material and create the vaccine. Four, the protein subunit vaccine, where the recombinant protein of SARS.COV-2 and an adjuvant (booster, along with a booster (booster) are given as a subunit. How long does it take for a vaccine to be developed? The process of developing a vaccine is complex and long.
