Abstract
In the fight against the COVID-19 global pandemic, the focus in 2021 has fortunately turned to vaccination strategies. The successful development of several vaccines, and their proven efficacy and short-term safety in large scale multinational trials against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), offers promise in controlling the pandemic. Many countries are now operationalising their vaccination programmes, and prioritising health-care workers and the most vulnerable individuals within the population—eg, the elderly and those with chronic health conditions.
