Oxford Vaccine Team | This Morning
They are the team who have given us hope after ten long months of lockdowns, disruption and of course the loss of so many lives. While the world stood still, watching the number of deaths and infections steadily rise, an incredible mainly-female team spent hours hunched over microscopes and trawling through data. All the while juggling the demands of young families and home-schooling. In November the team at Oxford University were finally rewarded with the news that their vaccine was effective and on Monday it was rolled out across the UK. We speak to two of the women behind the jab - Professor Katie Ewer and Dr Maheshi Ramasamy. Broadcast on 06/01/21
