Since the early days of the pandemic, healthcare workers from all 4 nations of the UK have volunteered their time to participate in SIREN, one of the largest COVID-19 reinfection studies worldwide. Their contribution is already helping to build a unique scientific legacy, shaping our understanding of the virus and providing important data that will be studied for decades to come.
But there is still work to be done.
18 months into the study, Chief Medical Advisor and SIREN lead Dr. Susan Hopkins is joined by Deputy Chief Medical Officer Prof. Jonathan Van-Tam and Consultant Epidemiologist Victoria Hall to thank participants for their efforts in what for many has been the most challenging 18 months of their careers, and to update on recent findings.
