Till August 25, 2021, the world registered 213 million COVID-19 cases and 4.4 million mortalities were recorded globally. Lockdowns and easing measures throughout the world have been thrown into disarray since the outbreak. Our social lives will return to normal only when a suitable vaccination will be developed and proper approved prevention methods will be practiced. To combat this epidemic, all governments and health professionals throughout the world are trying a variety of tactics and prevention approaches. In terms of providing safety to their citizens and expanding their economic operations, certain countries are regarded to be more successful than others. A plethora of vaccines had been developed; an anthology of research has been published. However, health care workers are still looking for a proper cure to overcome this pandemic, as it is spreading in different waves around the globe. This manuscript specifically highlights the contemporary review of the COVID-19 pandemic situation and mass vaccination process in view of new emerging variants.
