The current vaccine is thought to give good protection against new variants, but they re working on tweaking the jab to make it future proof. the scientist who s leading the research says it s relatively simple to redesign the vaccine. it s not difficult to put a different antigenic insert into the vaccine. so, we don t want to panic and say that we must have a new version of the vaccine now but on the other hand we are getting prepared, so that if it turns out we do need a new version, we will be ready to start using it. it sjust going to be a sharp scratch, ok? those on the oxford vaccine trials were shown to have 76% protection from a single dose, which lasted three months, rising to 82% protection, with the second shot. you ll be doing swabs every week at home. it s also the first time a covid vaccine has been shown to reduce transmission of coronavirus. those immunised were much less likely to test positive for infection, cutting the risk of them passing the virus on to others. ....

That s the vaccine, but what about those who have actually had covid 7 they want to know how long they may be protected against subsequent infection. a study involving nearly 20,000 volunteers may provide at least part of the answer. like the other participants, i was asked to send off a few drops of my blood every month to a lab. scientists at uk biobank found that 88% of participants, nearly 9 in 10, who started off with antibodies, still had them six months later. these findings are really good news, because it does suggest that people who have been infected with the virus may have some degree of protection against another infection for some considerable time. and i think what we would really like to know next is, how long does this natural immunity last for beyond six months? scientists think vaccines are likely to offer much stronger protection than natural infection, so a key message is to get immunised, even if you have ....
