Abstract:

The article discusses the complexity of the pandemics, emphasizing intrinsic and extrinsic aspects of vaccines, potentially the first pharmacological effective tool in combatting Sars-CoV-2. Two vacines are in the forefront in terms of development. They are the Oxford/AstraZeneca (UK) and the Sinovac (China) vaccines and they were chosen by us because Brazil is currently involved in clinical trials of both and will be also eventually in their production in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo since they succeed. Conceptually, the paper departCollective Health concepts, which deals with the importance of stressing boundaries between the social and biological fields. The paper also stress the idea that vaccines, albeit very important tools, should not abandon other non-pharmacological measures already in course.
