UK launches clinical trial of BCG vaccine

United Kingdom // 12 October, 2020

The University of Exeter is leading the UK arm of the trial of the BRACE TRIAL** to test if BCG vaccine could help protect against COVID-19. Other countries involved include Australia, the Netherlands, Spain, and Brazil. Together, the trial will recruit more than 10,000 healthcare staff.

BRACE seeks to determine whether the cheap and widely available BCG vaccine can boost the immune system enough to prevent healthcare workers from catching coronavirus.
