Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed immense pressure on the global healthcare sector. The rapid development of vaccines has significantly alleviated the rampant spread of the COVID-19 virus. This research paper aims to determine the success rates of various types of vaccines in preventing COVID. It will first list the brand of the vaccine, then identify the type of vaccine, and describe how the vaccine functions in providing the body immunity from the coronavirus, and finally it will compare the vaccines’ success rates in preventing the patient from being infected with COVID. Coronavirus vaccine types include recombinant subunit vaccines, which injects a part of the virus into the body; viral vector vaccines, which gene vaccines and whole virus vaccines. This comprehensive review will assist us in gaining a deeper understanding of COVID-19 vaccines and provide a foundation for subsequent efforts to further optimize vaccine development.
