UK BEGINS NEW VACCINE TRIAL

A major covid-19 vaccine trial has launched in the UK.

Thousands of people will be involved in testing the jab from Belgian company Janssen.

It uses a genetically modified cold virus to stimulate the immune system.

The UK is backing several vaccine candidates in the expectation that a number of them will be needed to bring coronavirus under control.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock says the aim remains to be using a Pfizer vaccine within weeks.
