NEWS: First volunteers receive Rift Valley fever vaccine in Kenya Phase II trial Researchers at @KEMRI_Wellcome Trust Research Programme have begun the most advanced stage of testing for vaccines, providing volunteers with the ChAdOx1 RVF. medsci.ox.ac.uk/news/first-vol…
A team led by Prof @George_Warimwe reports promising results from a Phase 1 trial of ChAdOx1 vaccine against Rift Valley fever which shows that it is safe and immunogenic in humans. Read the full report here : thelancet.com/journals/lanin…
Please consider applying to this exciting opportunity to support our efforts in strengthening the vaccine ecosystem in Africa: jobs.kemri-wellcome.org/job-advert/pro… #VaccinesWork #Africa

Paper on COVID PCR testing in Kenya. 92% of PCR +ve people were asymptomatic. Partly about use of tests - testing dominated by mass screening and travellers - but also shows how very common asymptomatic infection is in Kenya. wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/7-69/…
Compared our In-house KWTRP ELISA to WHO recommended Wantai ELISA. It performed as well, even better specificity. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
What a thumping win!
In this article, @Toinoti talks about research on safety & efficacy of using fractional doses of yellow fever vaccine; they induce similar immunologic protection as standard doses asm.org/Articles/2021/… @EYE_Strategy @wellcometrust @MSFsci @EDCTP @PhilipBejon @George_Warimwe
The highly effective yellow fever vaccine is in short supply because making it involves serial culture in eggs, as seen in this @usphscc photo. @andreaprinzi talks to @Toinoti about @WHO research on fractional vaccine doses to stop yellow fever spread: asm.social/9
Congratulations to @George_Warimwe, who has been awarded the Royal Society Africa Prize 2021 for his work on zoonoses vaccine development, capacity building in Africa, and his innovative research proposal. #RSMedals royalsociety.org/grants-schemes…
