Abstract
The recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has drawn global attention,
affecting millions, disrupting economies and healthcare modalities. With its high infection rate,
COVID-19 has caused a colossal health crisis worldwide. While information on the comprehensive
nature of this infectious agent, SARS-CoV-2, still remains obscure, ongoing genomic studies have
been successful in identifying its genomic sequence and the presenting antigen. These may serve as
promising, potential therapeutic targets in the effective management of COVID-19. In an attempt to
establish herd immunity, massive efforts have been directed and driven toward developing vaccines
against the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen. This review, in this direction, is aimed at providing the current
scenario and future perspectives in the development of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2.
