More data is expected on the Oxford University vaccine trials in the coming weeks

The Oxford University coronavirus vaccine produces a strong immune response in older adults, according the latest trial results. 

The Uni is expected to release data on the effectiveness of its candidate in the coming weeks, but is making positive noises about preliminary research, which suggests older people respond better to the jab than younger adults. That raises hopes that it could protect the most from vulnerable from Covid-19.

Meanwhile, England could face another month-long lockdown in exchange for a five-day window to celebrate Christmas.

Scientists say for every day restrictions are relaxed over the festive period, there would need to be five days of stricter rules to make up for it.
