Wits University has resumed vaccinating in the Oxford Covid-19 vaccine trial, confirmed Professor Shabir Madhi who leads the Ox1nCov19 trial in South Africa.
Vaccination in the Ox1nCov19 vaccine trial in the UK paused last week following a medical event in one trial participant in the UK. Globally some 18 000 individuals have received study vaccines as part of this trial. In large trials such as this it is expected that some participants will become unwell and every case has to be carefully evaluated to ensure careful assessment of safety.
“Assessing the safety of the vaccine is the reason why studies such as these are essential in South Africa, before there is widespread use of the vaccine."President Cyril Ramaphosa will address the nation at 19:00 today, Wednesday, 16 September 2020, on developments in South Africa’s risk-adjusted response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
India has for some time been recording the world's biggest daily jumps in cases, and on Wednesday, the rise was just over 90 000, with a record 1 290 deaths.
