Profile, performance, and perception of pharmacist preparedness for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Introduction: The lack of human resources for disease prevention and control is evident in times of health crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

We aimed to analyze the profile, performance, and characteristics related to the self-perception of preparedness among pharmacists who responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.
