AB The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause a collapse in the health systems and economiesof many countries around the world, after 2 years of struggle and with the number of casesstill growing exponentially. Health communication has become as essential and necessary for controlof the pandemic as epidemiology. This bibliometric analysis identifies existing contributions,jointly studying health communication and the pandemic in scientific journals indexed. A systematicsearch of the Web of Science was performed, using keywords related to COVID-19 and healthcommunication. Data extracted included the type of study, journal, number of citations, number ofauthors, country of publication, and study content. As the number of scientific investigations hasgrown, it is necessary to delve into the areas in which the most impactful publications have beengenerated. The results show that the scientific community has been quick to react by generating anextraordinary volume of publications. This review provides a comprehensive mapping of contributionsto date, showing how research approaches have evolved in parallel with the pandemic. In2020, concepts related to mental health, mass communication, misinformation and communicationrisk were more used. In 2021, vaccination, infodemic, risk perception, social distancing and telemedicinewere the most prevalent keywords. By highlighting the main topics, authors, manuscriptsand journals since the origin of COVID-19, the authors hope to disseminate information that canhelp researchers to identify subsisting knowledge gaps and a number of future research opportunities.
