Abstract
RUIZ-ROMERO, Alfonso et al. Immunity and COVID-19 vaccines. Revisiting the bases. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2022, vol.158, n.5, pp.327-333. Epub Nov 18, 2022. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.22000092.
The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the challenges of the 21st century; science and technology were put to the test for the development vaccines, diagnostic techniques and treatments in record time. However, misinformation and misinterpretation have made the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines a subject of debate. This review addresses concepts on immunization mechanisms and vaccination, as well as evidence supporting that COVID-19 vaccines are immunogenic, efficacious and safe.
