BackgroundThe first hit of the COVID-19 pandemic was reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, and wholesale seafood markets were reported to be the source of infection. The development of effective and safe vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 has been extremely fast. The development of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine started in early January 2020, after the release of the SARS-CoV-2 genetic sequence by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and its global dissemination by the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID).
