Human challenge models to advance vaccines against respiratory pathogens World Immunisation Week 2021
To mark World Immunisation Week 2021 from 24 to 30 April, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) Vaccine Centre is hosting a series of webinars. The theme this year is ‘Vaccines Bring Us Closer’. Each day of the week we focus on an important area of vaccine research, science and debate bringing together experts in the field. We end the week with the Vaccine Centre Annual Lecture on 30 April.
In this event, we focus on the use of controlled human infection models to accelerate the development of the next generation of vaccines against bacterial and viral respiratory pathogens, such as pertussis and SARS-CoV-2. Dr Chris Chiu will discuss The COVID-19 human challenge model and Professor Robert Read will explore Advancing the development of improved vaccines against pertussis through a human challenge model .

A HAMPSHIRE health provider saw more than 45,000 patients fail to attend appointments during the pandemic, according to NHS Digital. In the 11 months from April last year, patients missed a total of 45,305 outpatient appointments booked by staff at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust. Some of the patients are thought to have stayed away because they were afraid of catching coronavirus. But the British Medical Association (BMA) said missed appointments wasted valuable time when consultants were rushed off their feet as a result of the pandemic. Royston Smith, Tory MP for Southampton Itchen, urged people to tell the trust if they were unable - or unwilling - to keep an appointment.
