Core Tip |
The goals of global vaccination are to control, eliminate, or eradicate infectious diseases in a sustainable way that strengthens public health systems. Although the use of vaccines is essential for the control of epidemics, the vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) proved to be inadequate to end the pandemic and thus are considered incomplete. These vaccines failed to prevent infection, so their primary purpose now has been shifted to prevent severe disease and reduce hospitalizations and deaths. Therefore, we believe that all the strategies available to reduce transmission, hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID-19 will be put in place. In this regard, many observational studies have constantly shown beneficial effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients with low to moderate degree of COVID-19, in particular when administered within the first 72 h of symptom onset. Randomized controlled studies with NSAIDs should be carried out as soon as possible to confirm these results. |
