Abstract

As Covid-19 continues to spread around the world, people in all countries are being encouraged to take precautions to prevent transmission, including in many countries by staying at home and physical distancing. But a pandemic does not erase other diseases and their impact. While many services, including some health services, are being scaled back, the risk of further outbreaks of infectious diseases grows. The healthcare disruptions caused by Covid-19 could have a devastating impact on child mortality. So, it is essential to understand vaccine and life-saving vaccination in the era of Covid-19 pandemic. According to a report of WHO on 12th January 2021, 63 vaccine candidates are now in clinical development and 173 vaccine candidates are in pre-clinical development. Some authorized or approved vaccines are now under distribution for Covid-19 pandemic.
