The Covid vaccine Australia has invested in has been dealt a major setback after researchers uncovered a suspected serious adverse reaction in a trial participant.
The vaccine, being developed by pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford, is being tested at dozens of sites around the world.
The stage 3 trial — the final stage before safety and efficacy data can be submitted to regulators for approval — has tens of thousands of participants.
The adverse reaction — which AstraZeneca says is an unexplained illness — is believed to have affected a single participant in the UK.
A suspected “serious adverse reaction” means the participant may require hospitalisation. It could result in a life-threatening illness or even death.

Doesn't actually tell us much does it?
One person in '
tens of thousands' has had a
suspected adverse reaction . . that
may require hospital treatment, and
could result in death
Pretty poor attempt at instigating mass panic, but will probably draw the usual crowd in for some hysterical doom laden wittering
