Though most countries have started to succeed in deterring the spread of novel coronavirus, to further curtail the uncontrolled spread of the lethal flu bug across the globe, free and equitable widespread distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines is our best bet. But it's no easy task and it will take ample time before it turns to reality. So in the meantime, it's advisable to wear masks in public, staying away from social gatherings, and following all the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) set by the local authorities.

According to the Covid vaccine statistics provided by the esteemed Johns Hopkins University, the number of total doses administered across the globe has exceeded 2.9 billion, currently, the figure stands at 2,951,659,159.
