As I see it, we have a balancing act between the efficacy of new vaccines and their possible side effects (from which people have also died)
For me, the knowledge that the autumn Mod and Pf vaccines have only been tested at present on eight mice (but not on humans) definitely affects my decision about whether to accept the offer of the new vaccine.
Isn’t it the same vaccine with slight tweaks? I can’t see anything about only being tested on 8 mice anywhere. Any links?

As far as I’m aware the initial studies are in mice and then in clinical trials. Maybe it’s different with a tweaked version of the same vaccine but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t just be 8 mice then straight out.
