Doses for jab trialists

THOUSANDS of people who took part in a Covid-19 vaccine trial can now have two more doses of another vaccine to enable them to travel abroad.

After taking advice from the Joint Committee on

Vaccination and Immunisation, the Department of Health said those in England who took part in the UK-based Novavax trial should be offered two doses of the Pfizer/ BioNTech jab, with eight weeks between doses.
