Immunological surrogate endpoints of COVID-2019 vaccines: the evidence we have versus the evidence we need

Abstract In response to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, over 200 vaccine candidates against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) are under development and currently moving forward at an unparalleled speed. The availability of surrogate endpoints would help...
