Abstract

This study analyzes the need for global vaccination for all ages, on an emergency basis, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, it uses a qualitative exploratory-descriptive approach. The article proposes greater integration of countries due to the impacts generated by the pandemic on health, the economy, and the law. To this end, it first presents global efforts regarding the urgent demands for widespread vaccination coverage in all parts of the world. It then addresses international records of vaccine confirmation and their implications for global circulation and the reduction of the spread of new variants. It also raises the issue of vaccination coverage for all ages, considering that the world's children were initially neglected by countries. Finally, it concludes on the need to establish guidelines with a view to overcoming the current context entangled by the new coronavirus through global vaccination, in all countries, and for all ages.
