Abstract

  History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes, as said Mark Twain. It often guides the future. The authors discuss some of the key historical pandemics and mankind’s response to them, along with the development of pandemic vaccines. Currently the key strategy arguably rests on the discovery of a vaccine for Covid-19, presumably, the only escape route from the current crisis. While our scientists endeavour to find the vaccine, washing hands, social distancing and treatment advances remain the pillars for fighting COVID with a number of unsolved questions for any potential vaccines.
