Corona vaccine: Vaccine testing on two patients for trial in the UK
Two volunteers were ready to be vaccinated. Of the 800 people selected for the vaccine study, these are the first two to be vaccinated.
Half of those selected will be vaccinated with the Covid-19 vaccine, while half will be vaccinated against meningitis, not against corona.
The method of testing is determined in such a way that doctors know who has been vaccinated, but volunteers do not know which of the two vaccines they have been given.
Alyssa Granato, one of the first two volunteers, told the BBC: "I'm a scientist, so I wanted to help with scientific testing wherever possible."
More extensive trials will be conducted in the coming months with about 5,000 volunteers, including testing without any age limit.
Scientists hope to start 1 million doses before September and then increase the productivity on a large scale if the vaccine proves effective.
