The AstraZeneca Oxford COVID-19 vaccine (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 and also known as AZD1222) now undergoing Phase III clinical trials, has already undergone rigorous testing to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety. Now a team at Bristol University has used recently developed techniques to further validate that the vaccine accurately follows the genetic instructions programmed into it by the Oxford team. This novel analysis provides even greater clarity and detail about how the vaccine successfully provokes a strong immune response.

The findings, led by scientists at the University of Bristol and published on the pre-print server ResearchSquare, represent the most in-depth analysis of any of the COVID-19 vaccine candidates, going significantly above and beyond any regulatory requirements anywhere in the world.

Out of choice, I think this would be the one that I would have. It has shown a good T cell response as well as for antibodies. In my opinion, along with a fair few scientists, B &T cells are a lot more important than antibodies alone. T cells do not fade away like antibodies do. The T cells instruct the B cells to make more antibodies. So it it is actually a T cell response that we should be be looking for in a vaccine.
