Abstract

Like other infectious diseases, controlling COVID-19 infection must be a priority in order to save all of humanity. In absence of a specific vaccination against the novel 2019 coronavirus, many researchers suggest that Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccination can boost the human immunity system and have a protective effect against this infection. In this study, we use two methods: Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression in order to explore the role of existing vaccines on COVID-19 mortality. Results are very promising and interesting. In fact, contrary to the emerging intuition, we prove that BCG vaccination does not have a relevant impact on COVID-19 mortality numbers. In this regards, another contribution of our chapter is showing that other vaccines could be paid more attention, as Hepatitis B of Adults (HepB1), Varicella-Zoster (VZ), and especially, Meningococcal C conjugate (MenC) vaccines have a negative impact on COVID-19 mortality in contrast to Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids (DT) Vac-Cube for older children/adults.
