COVID-19: The virus, vaccine and paediatric heart

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in much morbidity and mortality around the world. The development of vaccines has cushioned the effect of the virus and thus, provided hope in the fight against the disease.1 Yet, there are still small battles with COVID-19, at the bench and bedside. Medical professionals in Singapore and beyond have all had a long battle against COVID-19. Many of us would have some degree of pandemic fatigue. However, given the endemic nature of COVID-19 now and with a real possibility of another emerging infectious disease, it is important and timely to reflect on our corporate experience and consolidate the current science.
