Abstract
DIAZ-BADILLO, Álvaro et al. Vaccination in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, n.6, pp.836-843. Epub Feb 08, 2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000487.
In this review, we described the history of vaccination, the different types of vaccines, and how vaccination coverage has been affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic. The effectiveness of the vaccines under metabolic host conditions is analyzed, especially when people have lost their immunocompetence, such as in patients with chronic kidney disease who are in dialysis treatment. Vaccines are produced in a variety of industrial methods, modifying costs. The novel field of vaccinomics includes the set of immune responses, the satisfactory levels of neutralizing antibodies, the production of metabolites, and the induction of protein expression. Finally, an analysis is made of the confusing messages regarding vaccination that are disseminated on social networks, and general recommendations are given.
