Oxford vaccine data on long dose gap and third booster dose

The Oxford vaccine team have a preprint looking at immune responses when a long delay between first and second dose (45 weeks) was trialled, and also at immune responses after a third booster dose six months after the second dose.

Journalists dialled in to this briefing to hear the scientists explain and discuss their findings.

Please note this data is a preprint, so it is early work that has not yet been through peer-review and is not published in a journal.

Speakers included:

Prof Sir Andrew Pollard, Director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, Department of Paediatrics, University of Oxford

Dr Teresa Lambe OBE, Associate Professor & Jenner Investigator, the Jenner Institute, University of Oxford

This Briefing was accompanied by an SMC Roundup of Comments.
