The COVID-19 pandemic and its serious repercussions are accelerating the development of a fundamental therapeutic strategy to begin eradicating this illness: vaccines. They are a fundamental instrument of primary prevention that will be administer initially to vulnerable groups or those with high risk of exposure, expanding in later phases the administration to another populations.
