To sign up to register for ongoing vaccine trials, including 3rd or 4th dose omicron specific booster vaccines, please fill in our secure questionnaire https://t.co/WieidTTKn7 Please share!
COVID-19 cases are rising and winter is drawing closer.
1) If you have not been vaccinated, now is the time.
2) If you are offered a booster please take up the offer.
3) Ventilation, masks in crowded indoor spaces and hand washing remain important.
COVID-19 is dangerous for pregnant women and their babies. The medical advice is clear: it is much safer to be vaccinated against COVID than get COVID if you are pregnant or may become pregnant. Please get vaccinated and support people you know who are pregnant to be vaccinated.
Our team spent Boxing Day 2020 and New Yearโs Day 2021 in the clinic recruiting for this trial in the depths of the UK second wave. Today makes it all worthwhileโฆthis could be the first oral antiviral treatment the FDA license for Covid. Thanks to all the Blackpool volunteers.
"So play your part, roll your sleeves up, and get the vaccine."
Every vaccination gives us hope.
Discover how #NHS staff, armed forces, volunteers & the general public have helped to deliver the largest vaccination programme in British history in response to #Covid19.

It was a privilege to do everything we could to deliver this trial and recruit the global first patients right here in Blackpool! Our team led by @DrRebeccaClark worked tirelessly and the hard work isnโt over yet! @Novavax @PRCBlackpool @angie_r_parker@drsarahshaw@CMO_England
Good news confirming efficacy of the Novavax COVID vaccine against original and B.1.1.7 variants. The UK trial recruited from 35 research sites across the UK, with the first patients recruited in Blackpool. Many thanks to the volunteers and NHS staff who made it possible.

Immensely proud to be one of the UK principal investigators on this study. Even prouder of my team who have worked tirelessly for 6 months. This really is #whywedoresearch. #nhsresearch Congratulations team @Novavax.
Harry the health elf has been playing out over the weekend, he knows it's good to be active but has kept his distance from others.

PRC Blackpool and @LaytonMedical have now closed recruitment for the phase 3 Novavax Covid-19 Vaccine study. We have had a total of 638 volunteers and want to thank everyone who has been involved and given their time to volunteer for this study. Thank you ๐๐
@NIHRCRN_nwcoast
So proud to have been part of this huge collective national effort alongside our colleagues at @PRCBlackpool @angie_r_parker. Weโre beyond proud of our Principal Investigator @DrRebeccaClark and the effort of all the team.
Proof that you donโt need hundreds of people or large hospital trusts to recruit for large scale studies. This team of dedicated, wonderful NHS staff has now randomised 638 people to the @Novavax Phase 3 vaccine study and weโre not stopping there. #nextstop650
