Pandemic
Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted on all aspects of our lives due to transmission via air droplet in close contact, with nearly 3.5 million deaths and over 167 m cases worldwide [1]. The spread of misinformation has been magnified during the COVID-19 crisis with issues such as wearing a face mask to reduce transmission being politicised. We have all had to rapidly adapt, and particularly for healthcare professionals, how we interpret and convey information about the virus and in particular how the vaccines have the potential to impact on the trajectory of the virus and the public’s response. As the emergency department is often the first place those who are ill turn to, emergency professionals have been at the forefront.
