TEARS were shed and celebrations had as the Warrington Guardian Lockdown Heroes awards took place. It was the first time the Guardian has hosted a virtual ceremony, but it was an emotional evening as we presented a total of 10 awards. There was also a surprise special recognition award for Prof Simon Constable, chief executive of Warrington and Halton Hospitals, for his efforts leading his teams through the Covid pandemic.

Volunteers sought for coronavirus vaccine study launching at Halton Hospital VOLUNTEERS from Halton and Warrington are being asked to sign up to a new study which could see a new coronavirus vaccine approved for use across the country. The National Institute for Health Research-supported Valneva study will be run at Halton Hospital’s clinical research unit and is open to healthy adults who have not previously had a Covid-19 vaccine. Across the UK, 4,000 participants will be recruited for the study, which will see each participant receive two active vaccine doses administered in a four-week interval. Those enrolled in the study over the age of 30 will be randomised to receive two doses of either the Valneva vaccine or the approved Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
