@leedsbeerdoctor 3/3 Right through the tests and the trials, teams of scientists and clinicians carefully, methodically, scientifically and rigorously review all data on safety, effectiveness and quality as soon as they become available. from http://twitter.com/NHSuk/status/1342931795558367232

@leedsbeerdoctor 2/3 This COVID-19 vaccine was only approved once it met robust standards of effectiveness, safety and quality. from http://twitter.com/NHSuk/status/1342931493694263299

@leedsbeerdoctor 1/3 The safety of the public will always come first. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is the UK’s independent regulator, their role is to ensure medicines, devices and vaccines work and are safe for use. from http://twitter.com/NHSuk/status/1342931339570376704
