Global gaps in access to Covid-19 vaccines are raising concerns that the continued spread of the coronavirus will breed more dangerous versions of the pathogen, weakening medical weapons and further crippling economies. In a race to catch up with emerging coronavirus variants, wealthy countries are already benefiting from potent vaccines.
Past immunization campaigns suggest the disease may never be
fully eradicated
Why this prediction that the Covid virus will never be eradicated?
Because there will always be a large proportion of susceptible population in the community who are Not vaccinated..
In record speed, vaccines are here, and more are on their way.
Less than a year since the coronavirus began ravaging the world, the first shots are raising hopes for wiping the Covid-19 pandemic from the face of the earth.
Today’s programs in the U.S. and the U.K. are precursors to immunization campaigns intended to reach the planet’s entire population all 8 billion people in every corner of the globe.

There is reason for optimism. Vaccines are the best, and perhaps only, way to eliminate infectious disease: Smallpox has been eradicated and polio is on the brink, with just two countries where transmission persists. But global vaccine campaigns take time usually decades suggesting that even with the latest technologies, money and might behind the unprecedented global drive to knock out COVID-19, the disease is unlikely to be eliminated any time soon.
Corona vaccines don’t mean we’ll see the last of Covid, experts warn

This is a historic moment, said Dr. Marcus Zervos, Division Chief of Infectious Disease for Henry Ford Health System. A vaccine is our best hope in the fight against COVID-19, and were glad to be a part of bringing this opportunity to the Midwest.
