Public Perceptions Towards Vaccine Trial Research within Ethnic Minority and Vulnerable Communities

The NIHR Clinical Research Network has established a COVID-19 Vaccine Research Delivery Group. The role of this group is to coordinate resources and intelligence to deliver these new COVID-19 vaccine studies across the UK. This work involves establishing regional facilities which will recruit participants at scale and pace and to this end the Clinical Research Network East Midlands (CRNEM) established The East Midlands Vaccine Research Delivery Group. The CRNEM are leading and managing the regional effort and commissioned The University of Leicester, Centre for BME Health to undertake this community consultation to support our understanding and thus delivery of the COVID-19 vaccine studies.
