It’s been two years since the World Health Organization has named the official start of the Coronavirus Pandemic. And despite what most hoped for, the virus is still spreading among us, and it is still a problem. Compared to the start of the pandemic, there is less panic around the virus, and health services are better equipped to deal with it, mainly because we have gained a better understanding of the virus.

Compared with other epidemics, the vaccine that has been developed does not absolve us of the disease, nor can it cure it forever. Yet, it can still help us prevent the most severe cases of COVID-19 and lessen the possibility of it becoming deadly. Despite this, we still need to be vigilant and learn from every opportunity we can.
