Book excerpt: Since the end of 2019, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which caused more than 6 million deaths worldwide, immediately gained attention as a major public health issue. The clinical spectrum of COVID-19 encompasses a wide range of conditions, from a minor upper respiratory tract infection to severe interstitial pneumonia with respiratory and even multi-organ failure and a high in-hospital mortality. This unpredictability encouraged the development of tailored vaccination tactics to control the viral propagation and slow the progression of the disease. During the pandemic, a vast amount of clinical and laboratory data was gathered, allowing researchers to learn more about the progression of the disease as well as the efficacy and safety of the anti-SARS-Cov-2 vaccine.
