The race Against Time to Save Human Lives During the COVID-19 With Vaccines: Global Evidence.

ABSTRACT: Voluminous vaccine campaigns have been used globally, since the COVID-19 pandemic has brought devastating mortality and destructively unprecedented consequences to different aspects of economies.
