Abstract

The end of the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 and a future without masks and restrictions are promising with the discovery of a vaccine. Still, there is much worry about the vaccine itself. Fears about what is inside the vaccine, how quickly it was created and plans for distribution are major concerns. This article aims to address these concerns to relieve vaccine hesitancy. Methods for distribution within the United States as well as different strategies to ensure proper and equitable allocation of COVID-19 vaccine worldwide is also described.

Keywords: COVID-19 vaccines; components; destigmatization; development; health disparities; supply and distribution.
