Vaccination has been suggested as a good way to fight COVID‑19, and it is certainly important to design a safe and effective vaccine. In the healthcare system, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as an effective tool. The use of AI in diagnosing various health conditions and interpreting complex medical issues is very significant. AI capabilities can be used as an effective tool to study SARS‑CoV‑2 and its capabilities, virulence, and genome. For example, machine learning techniques such as neural networks and support vector machines can be used to identify antigens from protein sequences. Epidemic progression can also be tracked and patients monitored. Thus, AI accelerates research into the treatment of COVID‑19.http://ijpm.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijpm/article/view/2852http://ijpm.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijpm/article/download/2852/717718675
