in other searches for treatments — scientists at imperial college london are appealing for volunteers trials of a coronavirus vaccine which begin tomorrow. they hope that a viable vaccine could be ready by spring next year. professor robin shattock from the department of infectious disease at imperial is leading the research. the first part of the clinical development is to check that it is really safe, because it is going to be used in the general population and check it induces the right kind of immune response we would predict would be protected. but we will move into large—scale efficacy trials in october and then it is a numbers game. it depends on how many infections are ongoing in the community. if we see a lot of infections we may get a result fairly quickly. if there are very few infections, obviously it will take a lot longer to get enough data to be able to prove that the vaccine works or not. so in a way it is ironic that you need a certain number of cases to be sure of the efficacy? yes, absolutely. it is good news for the uk if there aren't many infections going on, but
