Hasan Mahmud Reza and colleagues argue that access to vaccines enabled by predictable supply of vaccine doses and delivery to remote areas are critical for vaccine uptake in low and middle income countries
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has dismantled many long-established systems in society. Distance learning has rapidly replaced traditional classes at school. Keeping all other activities open, educational institutions were closed first to contain COVID-19 transmission when the number of cases started to rise, causing a massive adverse impact on education and students’ well-being. Students of lower socio-economic classes are dealing with the worst consequences as they are not able to afford the means of online schooling, especially in low- and middle-income countries like Bangladesh.
All governments, regulatory authorities, and vaccine-related committees are under tremendous pressure to roll out vaccines to safeguard the people against COVID-19. To be noted that all COVID-19 vaccines have been developed hurriedly, some with new technologies being used on humans for the first time ever. Most clinical trials did not include elderly patients with comorbidities, hence a careful and logical rollout planning, especially for elderly people, is necessary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
