Professor Chloe Orkin, Lead for COVID -19 studies for Barts Health, tells us,

"An effective vaccine is what we all need. Great strides are being made on this and we want to make sure our staff and the population of East London are part of this. Barts Health has been leading the way on research and understanding of the disease. There are over 3000 people who have entered COVID -19 studies so far — a reflection of the willingness and desire to contribute.”
