Top five infographics of 2020

I’m sure it will come as no surprise that The Pharmaceutical Journal’s most-read infographics this year focus on COVID-19.

Our second most popular infographic focuses on the pathology of COVID-19, while readers’ favourite infographic of 2020 illustrated the different approaches being taken to develop a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.

Other popular infographics this year investigated clinical topics, such as acute kidney injury, indigestion, and anxiety and depression.

Your top five infographics published in 2020 were:
