Come forward for vaccines and boosters,” he said.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said it invested early in Oxford University’s vaccine development team, supporting their technology since 2016 and their COVID-19 jabs since March 2020 to help research, develop and manufacture the vaccine. with over GBP 88 million invested for. ,
The UK’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) helped recruit thousands of volunteers and supported researchers from across the UK for Phase 3 clinical trials, which in December launched the Independent Medicines and Health Care Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). ) paved the way for approval. 2020.

“We haven’t managed to vaccinate everyone in Africa with one dose, so we’re certainly not getting to the point where a fourth dose is manageable for everyone … we need boosters for vulnerable people in the population.” There may be a need but I think it is very unlikely that we will have regular programs to promote everyone over the age of 12.”
