The trial study is being run by Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, the largest hospital here in the Nordics. It is conducted by the same department that we are already involved with in a long term natural immunity study that we have been in since we contracted asymptomatic COVID-19 in late April/early May.
It is called the mRNA-1273.351 Moderna vaccine, as it is designed (like the one that was sent to the NIH in the US 4 weeks ago) to combat the South Africa (B.1.351) variant. The UK ( B.1.1.7) variant is already robustly neutralised by the Moderna vax.
We are part of a special control group, as both of us still have high naturally arrived at antibody, T helper cell, T killer cell, and B cell counts, so we know we are actually getting the vax, and not a placebo, as we are not in the double-blind cohort.
I shall keep all apprised of what happens.
