Commenting on the release of the vaccines in his introduction to the supplement, Physician Editor Philip Seo, MD, MHS, wrote: “We are tantalizingly close to an end to this nightmare. We just have to roll up our sleeves—literally!—and give everyone a push in the right direction.”
The supplement drew content from our online repository of COVID-19 coverage and included a summary of the rheumatology-specific COVID-19 vaccine research conducted to that time, outcomes data on patients with rheumatic disease and COVID-19, and interviews with rheumatologists and rheumatology professionals from around the country on how the pandemic was affecting them professionally and personally.
The Rheumatologist also received an APEX 2022 Award of Excellence for its June issue.
