Science has provided mankind with vaccines, so there must be a collective mobilization for them to be effective. Vaccines help humanity evolve and find new, faster, and more effective solutions.

If we wish to achieve evolved civilizations and live in a better and more solidary world, it is crucial to believe in scientific progress.

One year after the emergence of the SARS-COV2 Coronavirus infection, which led to the Covid-19 Pandemic, science was able to produce, in record time, millions of vaccines that are currently reaching the population.

During this period of renewed hope in the importance of vaccines, society has been confronted and exposed to an unprecedented information overload. Information intoxication and infodemic, with a plethora of often incorrect and misinterpreted data, carry the enormous risk of undermining public confidence regarding the importance of vaccines.

It is important that the various stakeholders, including scientific societies and health authorities, have the same language, in order to support government authorities in the credibility of the proposed measures and create greater social acceptance of them, towards a collective mobilization for vaccination.

Vaccination will enable a significant reduction in the pressure on health services, both in terms of hospital admissions in wards and intensive care units, and in mortality in the most vulnerable groups. Later, as group immunity is achieved, the transmissibility of the disease will also decrease until it is finally possible to recover our previous social and economic normality.

Voluntary vaccination is essential to achieve collective immunity, so it is crucial to convey to society confidence, by disseminating credible, rational, and objective information about the possible risks and multiple benefits of vaccination.

Facing the pandemic, namely through the adoption of individual protection measures, is an obligation and commitment that should encompass health professionals and all citizens.

However, the commitment of the entire population to be vaccinated is even more important.

In the same way that globalization positively contributes to the spread of the pandemic, vaccination and access are vital for sustaining and controlling it and should be a global commitment.

This implies that all countries without exception achieve sufficient vaccination coverage, because we must never forget that infectious diseases follow people.

Because of vaccines, for the first time in human history, there were means to control the pandemic in record time through immunization of the world’s population, avoiding more deaths.

Vaccines have proven to be the only available option to prevent the consequences of Covid-19 disease through the development by the immune system of direct protection against the virus.

It is now important for all scientists, healthcare professionals, and the general population to achieve the necessary indirect immunity in the shortest possible time so that, through vaccination, the virus can reach a dead end and stop circulating.

This is the only hope for regaining normality in our lives as soon as possible.

What we no longer see, we easily forget. So many times, it is only through television that we remember diseases like polio, measles, rubella, and smallpox, which, although already part of the past, killed thousands of people every year until the middle of the 20th century.

This is the real success of vaccines. By protecting so effectively against infectious diseases, they make us quickly forget these problems and thus the effectiveness of vaccination.

It is therefore important that everyone without exception considers as a national goal the recommendations of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), which call for vaccination as the “key” to protection against Covid-19, including the Delta variant, preventing further deaths.

This call includes all eligible age groups who have not yet been vaccinated, such as teenagers from 12 to 18 years old.
