Anyone can sign up to take part in the Covid-19 vaccine study. The requiremnts include: having an email address, you must be over the age of 18 and you must live in the UK.
Individuals that do not want to take part in teh studies no more can withdraw at anytime they want.

Individuals that take part in this research must visit hospital/research sites a couple of times over a period of time between 6-12 months.
'An independent research ethics committee will also review the protocol. This committee is responsible for looking after your rights, safety, dignity and wellbeing when you take part in research. It can also decide whether the study can go ahead.' (NHS (2021). Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine research). Available at:

The Covid-19 vaccine studies are run by the NHS and the NIHR.
'In England, the research partner of the NHS is the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The NIHR is working with equivalent NHS research partners in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales on vaccine studies.' (NHS (2021). Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine research). Available at:

How was the research used?
'The overall plan for a research study is called a protocol. Before a study can start, the protocol needs to be approved by a group of researchers who are not involved in the study.' (NHS (2021). Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine research). Available at:
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/research/coronavirus-vaccine-research/

This research was used to identify the vaccines effectiveness on the disease. It was used to identify side effects and it's benefits as well as consequences.
It helped to improve the first vaccine and make it as safe as possible.
It was also used to work out who can get the vaccine and who cannot. This is to make sure people who cannot get it won't get it and will not suffer. Also make the vaccine as universal and general so as many people as possible can get the vaccine despite other diseases and taking medictions.
