Abstract

Recently we passed through the covid-19 pandemic. We were eagerly wait for the covid-19 vaccine but after development of vaccine, what benefits we get? In the era of vaccine we want to give our inputs. During the covid-19 pandemic, every person was waiting for the vaccine. They were alert for each step of vaccine trial updates. They were hopping that once vaccine comes, it will make magic and the world will be free from the covid-19 virus which did not happen. If vaccine is powerful why second or third wave occurred? There are various cases of reinfection of the covid-19 to humans even after successful vaccination completion. One of the leading covid vaccine production company chief executive officer Was infected with Covid-19 even after successful vaccination. we conclude that vaccines solely are not effective and contact precautions and herd immunity is also important. We conclude that vaccines solely are not effective and contact precautions and herd immunity is also important. We are not against the vaccines; we are against to mentality which think that vaccine end the covid-19 pandemic. Keep one thing in our mind, that virus will never be dead, somewhere they are alive. When they get chance to mutate them self, they will make their new variants and come again.
