The role of vaccination in tackling Covid-19 and the potential consequences of a time delay in vaccination rate are discussed. This study presents a mathematical model that incorporates the rate of vaccination and parameters related to the presence and absence of time delay in the context of Covid-19. We conducted a study on the global dynamics of a Covid-19 outbreak model, which incorporates a vaccinated population and a time delay parameter. Our findings demonstrate the global stability of these models. Our observation indicates that lower vaccination rates are associated with an increase in the overall number of infected individuals. The stability of the corresponding time delay model is determined by the value of the time delay parameter. If the time delay parameter is less than the critical value at which the Hopf bifurcation occurs, the model is stable. The results are supported by numerical illustrations that have epidemiological relevance.
