While information on the comprehensivenature of this infectious agent, SARS-CoV-2, still remains obscure, ongoing genomic studies havebeen successful in identifying its genomic sequence and the presenting antigen. These may serve aspromising, potential therapeutic targets in the effective management of COVID-19. In an attempt toestablish herd immunity, massive efforts have been directed and driven toward developing vaccinesagainst the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen.
