We're running the norovirus phase III vaccine study for people over 18 years at NHS GG&C and 27 sites across the UK - details below if you'd like to take part. Norovirus is the winter vomiting bug and can cause serious illness in elderly people and babies.
The Nova 301 Trial will see if an investigational vaccine can protect people against norovirus stomach bug symptoms. @NHSGGC @EnrichScotland @NIHRresearch

Seeing a LOT of sick patients on my ward rounds with #flu or #COVID19 just now. The rising numbers are also causing enormous pressures on the health service. If you’re eligible for flu +/- covid19 vaccine and not had it, please consider getting it. 🦠 😷 🏥💉 #VaccinesWork
Appointments are no longer required at our Flu and Covid-19 vaccination clinics. If you're eligible, drop into a clinic near you. See locations here: https://t.co/3SlV8TErRm
