PITCH Study: Protective Immunity from T Cells in Healthcare workers is a @DHSC funded study in Oxford, Newcastle, Liverpool, Birmingham & Sheffield

Joined October 2020
Great to have our work on immune response after extended dosing interval for Pfizer BNT162b2 now formally out in peer review in Cell. Here's a 🧵from 1 of the paper's 1st authors outlining the paper. Great teamwork from the many involved - see end of thread for collaborators 👋

Superb talk on meliodosis by @Susannajd. Sobering to think 1/3 of her patient participants survived the infection. Need for a vaccination, particularly in vulnerable diabetic patients, clearly made 👍
