**6. Conclusion**

The principle of drug repurposing is very beneficial and may have proven success, although this may differ with the severity as well as the subjects in whom therapy is performed. In the case of vaccinations, several vaccines have shown promising effects throughout the globe and the proceeding steps will soon provide hope for the early commercial launch of COVID-19 vaccines. Since the structural organization and genomic constitution of the SARS-CoV-2 is similar to that of SARS-CoV, antiviral drugs and other therapeutic measures employed to control the disease at the time can be utilized in order to control this epidemic condition. However, the rate and amount of research and clinical COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 studies to improve potential treatments and therapies for this disorder will surely help us in order to curb the disease soon. Consequently, the design and production of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is similarly critical in comparison to the development of new medicines and clinical trials of old drugs. Experience from SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV suggests that there is a major focus on creating animal models that can summarize different forms of human disease and assess the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
