Coronavirus: First patients injected in UK vaccine trial

wo volunteers were injected, the first of more than 800 people recruited for the study.

Half will receive the Covid-19 vaccine, and half a control vaccine which protects against meningitis but not coronavirus.

The design of the trial means volunteers will not know which vaccine they are getting, though doctors will.

Elisa Granato, one of the two who received the jab, told the BBC: "I'm a scientist, so I wanted to try to support the scientific process wherever I can."

The vaccine was developed in under three months by a team at Oxford University. Sarah Gilbert, professor of vaccinology at the Jenner Institute, led the pre-clinical research.

MUKGA? There are at least a couple of vaccines in clinical trials here in the US, with at least one more to start soon. But I really do not care who invented effective vaccines. Being effective is what matters.

I don't plan to take any vaccine.  I haven't had a flu shot in over 16+ years.  The last flu I had, with 103 fever and red & swollen arm was right after I took that flu shot.  I couldn't  even move my arm. No flu shot, no flu for me.  Everybody has to make their own choice.  It would be interesting to see what happens to those who took the vaccine.  Would they tell us the truth?
