This is such good news. Couldn’t be prouder to work for @KTNUK - it’s a great place to work anyway, but it just keeps getting better!
From now on, any of our team @KTNUK welcoming a new child into their immediate family - regardless of gender or circumstance - will have equal & enhanced parental leave. We've still some way to go on our journey towards diversity & equality, but this is a meaningful step forward!

“It will be interesting to see whether these immune responses translate into protection from Covid-19, information that should be available in the coming weeks from late stage clinical trials of this and the many other vaccines in development” – Terry O’Neill, Head of Health 3/3

“It’s usually assumed that, as we age, our adaptive immune system becomes less effective in responding to infectious challenges and to vaccinations. These results suggest that this may not be the case when it comes to the response stimulated by the Oxford Covid-19 vaccine.” 2/3

“The results from the Oxford Covid-19 vaccine being widely reported in the press today showing that the immune response in older individuals is similar to that stimulated by vaccination of younger people is a real step forward in the fight against the pandemic.” 1/3
