Abstract/Summary

-
With the emergence of the novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (Sars-CoV-2) came the harsh realization of how unprepared various government entities and societies were for a pandemic. The following year reigned in an economic and public health catastrophe, from which we are still slowly recovering today. In response, the brightest minds in the world collaborated and put scientific discovery into hyper drive, resulting in numerous vaccines' production – the quickest in history. To grasp the basic science behind vaccination, one must understand that every virus is different in the ‘5Ws and how’ it infects its host. As variable as the virus is, so is its host immune response depending on viral load, infection location, host gender, age, and immune status.
