Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first known case was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.The disease has since spread worldwide, leading to an ongoing pandemic. As of July 17th, 2021, nearly 200 million COVID-19 cases have be confirmed worldwide, and the virus has claimed more than 4 million lives globally.
A COVID‑19 vaccine is a vaccine intended to provide acquired immunity against SARS‑CoV‑2, the virus that causesCOVID‑19. Prior to the COVID‑19 pandemic, an established body of knowledge existed about the structure and function of coronaviruses causing diseases like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). This knowledge accelerated the development of various vaccine technologies during early 2020. The initial focus of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines was on preventing symptomatic, often severe illness. On 10 January 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 genetic sequence data was shared through GISAID, and by 19 March, the global pharmaceutical industry announced a major commitment to address COVID-19. The COVID‑19 vaccines are widely credited for their role in reducing the spread, severity, and death caused by COVID-19.
This narrative visualization is intended to provide viewers an overall perspective of how COVID-19 gradually spread across different countries/regions in the world over time and how the vaccination distribution looks like for each country/region.
