How did you get a coronavirus vaccine in less than a year?
Vaccines are not something new, they have been part of our lives for several decades and we know that thanks to them we have been able to eradicate diseases such as smallpox.
Therefore, when the cases of
Covid-19
began to multiply, all eyes were on pharmaceutical laboratories and the question was obvious: When would we have a vaccine to stop this
pandemic
?
The most optimistic forecasts spoke of 12 or 18 months, which was already an achievement when we consider that a completely new vaccine usually requires a minimum of three or four years of research, evaluation and production.
And if we look at history, until that period it seems excessively optimistic.
How, then, is it explained that we already have three authorized vaccines in the European Union?
If we look back, the case of the flu can help us understand a part.
The 1918 epidemic did not get an immediate response, all kinds of vaccines were tested that included different bacteria or viruses, but none was the flu vaccine (which would not be identified until 1933), so none was helpful.

07.14.The WHO sees "very worrying" the possible ban on exports of vaccines against the EU coronavirus
The deputy director of the
World Health Organization
(WHO) for Access to Medicines and Health Products, Mariangela Simao, has described as "very worrying" the possible ban on exports of vaccines against the
coronavirus
by the European Union (EU ).
The European Commission announced yesterday the adoption of a mechanism to control
vaccine
exports
that will allow it to prevent pharmaceutical companies from selling doses produced in the bloc to third countries if they are not able to comply with the distribution promised to member states.
Brussels, however, specified that the main objective is to increase transparency and denied that it seeks to
"block" the export of vaccines
outside the EU.
This "emergency" measure would take effect immediately and would be applicable during the first quarter of the year, although it could be renewed if problems persist.
