Morning, So many people can’t take live virus vaccines. Do we know if the vaccine that they are working on for Covid19 will have live virus in it?

I don't know but I would hope they are trialling both live and not live. My granddaughter can't have live vaccines either as she has JIA (Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis) and she is on immune suppressed drugs.

I think I read somewhere that the Oxford vaccine is live:

"The researchers started screening healthy volunteers in March for the “ChAdOx1 nCoV-19" vaccine trial in the Thames Valley Region of England. ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 is made from a virus (ChAdOx1), which is a weakened version of a common cold virus (adenovirus) that causes infections in chimpanzees, that has been genetically changed so that it is impossible for it to grow in humans."

"genetically changed so that it is impossible for it to grow in humans." is not the same a dead?

All vaccines are live to a degree and that includes our annual flue jab. If the vaccine was not live, there would be nothing for white blood cells to defend against, so our bodies would produce no antibodies. Has to be remembered any vaccine is a much weakened version of the virus it is protecting against. I would not worry as they will be trialed,
