Oxford vaccine

[CourseTheyWere]

Does anyone have any information about when this might be ready?

I recall we were told we would know if it worked in July and it might be ready by September. Things seem to have gone much quieter since then.

I know they are doing the stage 2 trials in Brazil and SA but is there any timeline yet for release? I’ve searched but can’t find any information.

Thanks!

How do you get onto trials? I’d happily volunteer but where do you find out how?!

Bol87 I was recruited through work (nhs) nut I've seen links on social media too.

But, not nut!

@Bol87 you can sign up and give permission for researchers to contact you here

You just sign up to the covid vaccine trial registry. They ask you a few lifestyle questions. Then you wait to see if you are matched to a trial.

You can also sign up for the Oxford trial here: covid19vaccinetrial.co.uk/participate-trial

Thanks guys! I’ve signed myself up!

I just think aiming for a vaccine is a mistake.

Better to aim for elimination. A vaccine is a bonus, but we rely on one at our peril.

How do you suggest we eliminate it without a vaccine?

Just skim read about the Oxford Vaccine latest (and others) just now. Basically it said they can't have a "look" at the results so far too early or it ceases to be "blind". The researchers would then maybe influenced by the results in their final data.

raviolidreaming That makes sense. They are now looking for areas where enough people might catch the virus. I think it was just Oxford and Bristol at the start.

@LordoftheRingz you seem to be a bit behind in the news there - about 30 years! Did you hear the Belin Wall came down?

Thanks for the information; I watched it happen on the TV.

Whats your point?

I am doing the vaccine trial via St Thomas hospital in London and am in the Lambeth council tax area. I got a text which came from my doctor surgery. Got the booster yesterday and literally no side effects at all

Do you also think Yugoslavia still exists, the IRA are bombing English cities and Reagan is president?
