The race to find a Coronavirus vaccine 💉

Vaccines usually take years (like, ten years...) but last week Oxford Uni researchers started testing a vaccine on humans they hope could protect us against Covid-19.

The first two volunteers were injected last week and one of them is a Sydney PhD working in oncology medical research living in the UK. His name is Edward O’Neill he joins us from London.

Today’s news headlines:

  • Corona Wrap – Newmarch/Greg Hunt Community Transmission
  • NRL/AFL season restarts
  • Supermarket restrictions lifted

In today’s Briefing we ask: why did Dr Edward O’Neill put his hand up to be an early tester for a vaccine? How much do you get paid to be a human guinea pig? What’s it like not knowing if you were injected with the control vaccine or the real vaccine? Is he confident it will be successful? What work has been going on to create the Coronavirus vaccine based on the MERS vaccine? What does he have to do now, and does he have to try and get the coronavirus to see if it works? Is he being hyper vigilant to symptoms, and what it like being part of a trial like this in daily life? Will he sign up for more trials in the future?
