Bradford Novavax vaccine trial seeks more volunteers from BAME backgrounds

There is hope that an effective coronavirus vaccine will be ready by the end of this year, according to the head of the World Health Organisation – as over 180 different potential vaccines across the world are rushed through clinical trials.

In Bradford, large-scale human trials of the Novavax vaccine have begun their phase 3 trials, the first in the world to reach this stage with this particular vaccine.

But the team say they need many more people from BAME communities to volunteer to take part.
