Abstract

As vacinas são cruciais na prevenção de doenças e representam uma estratégia coletiva de saúde pública. Elas possuem um histórico de sucesso desde a luta contra a varíola no século XVIII. Com o tempo foram desenvolvidas as vacinas clássicas e vacinas modernas decorrentes da aplicação da bioengenharia. Apesar da eficácia, o negacionismo tem ameaçado as estratégias de imunização. A pandemia do SARS-CoV-2, mesmo diante de ideologias contraditórias, destacou a importância das vacinas e do progresso da construção desses imunizantes para uma rápida prevenção. Dados de muitos países mostraram que a vacinação em massa foi essencial para controlar a COVID-19 e manter a cobertura de proteção. Além da prevenção, reduz a propagação de patógenos e contribui para a imunidade coletiva. Até o presente momento, as metodologias foram eficazes e com benefícios comprovados para a saúde pública. Em suma, as evidências corroboraram através do tempo mostrando que as vacinas são essenciais e a aplicação em larga escala é uma estratégia coletiva importante para proteger a população de diversos agravos.
