Novavax jab trial participants will get two other jabs for travel
Two further doses of another vaccine will be offered to the thousands of people who took part in a Covid vaccine trial, the UK government has announced.
After taking advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the Department of Health said those in England who took part in the UK-based Novavax trial should be offered two doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech jab, with eight weeks between the doses, PA Media reported.
More than 15,000 people took part in the phase 3 Novavax trial at various hospital sites across the UK, but the company has not yet submitted data to regulators to get the jab approved. It means thousands of people have been unable to travel abroad because other countries do not recognise Novavax as a valid Covid vaccine.
