mRNA vaccine technology has been studied for the last decade but this is the first time that we are fortunate to have the technology developed in record time mainly due to preexisting platform and knowledge plus an unprecedented mobilization of money and human scientific resources to develop this vaccine, a much-needed innovation to prevent or halt COVID 19 infection.

This will help us get to the 70 % threshold of people either infected with the virus or vaccinated for " herd immunity”. This will help us get back to a semi-normal life. Meanwhile, while the vaccine is necessary, we should NOT abandon the many ways we can prevent the spread of the virus by masking, physical distancing, avoiding crowds and hand washing, PLUS OF COURSE SELF CARE.
