The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has had a profound impact on healthcare systems worldwide during the last years [1]. In the post-pandemic era, SARS-CoV-2 continues to have a global impact, although the situation varies across countries and regions. Global vaccination coverage remains a challenge, whereas new variants of the virus continue to emerge, some of which are more transmissible or potentially evade immunity conferred by previous infections or vaccines [2].
