Dr John Wright describes the goals of the CoV-Boost trial, which started this past week.
We are blessed with multiple vaccine choices after a remarkable year of discovery, and the trial will test seven different options including the AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Novavax and Janssen vaccines, some of which will be administered at half-dose.
He notes that patients being treated for Covid in hospital now have been offered the vaccine and have chosen not to take it.Leading the trial in Bradford is Prof Dinesh Saralaya, who points out that it should show us how different Covid vaccines work with one another. Joyce Binks, an 82-year-old retired dinner lady, was one of them and she came despite having lost her husband just three weeks ago. She had no hesitation in volunteering, despite the risks.
She says that patients in the hospice where she works often had untypical symptoms with Covid and were dying very quickly, often alone, and were deprived of the last weeks and months they had expected to have with their families. The impact on carers, and on the bereaved, will last for a long time, she says.
