Now across four sites -- Oxford and Southampton are already full, Bristol and London area still recruiting.

I wondered about doing the London one, but they only want people who've go their own transport and aren't dependent on public transport/taxis -- guessing they don't want to increase the number of people on public transport at all.

There's now a national registry where you can sign up to potentially be contacted by any vaccine trials that think they can use you:

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/research/coronavirus-vaccine-research/

Doesn't commit you to anything except allowing researchers to get in touch.

Or some people might want to apply direct to the Sheffield branch of the Oxford vaccine trials:

They're particularly looking for folks who may have higher exposure:

Recruitment of those with likely higher exposure to SARS-CoV-2 will be prioritised, in order to increase the likelihood of obtaining efficacy endpoints in the context of a waning epidemic. These priority groups will mainly consist of, but are not limited to, COVID-19 patient facing frontline healthcare workers (e.g. those working in ICU, A&E, COVID-19 wards, Paramedics, Care Homes, GP COVID-19 hubs, dentists, COVID-19 testing centres), non-healthcare staff working in COVID-19 clinical areas (e.g. hospital porters, receptionists, cleaners and others working in hospital environments), and other public facing keyworkers with no access to personal protective equipment, amongst others.
