Back in Denmark after >6 weeks in Africa. Time was spent on two trials close to my heart. Here a brief introduction. First, the @EDCTP funded randomised trial of BCG vaccine to health care workers, as a potential bolster against COVID and other infections. edctp.org/projects-2/edc…
It is a two-center trial at #BandimHealthProject in Guinea-Bissau and at @Manhica_CISM in Mozambique. In March, we from Bandim visited the Manhica team, led by Dr. Pedro Aide and Lidia Nhamussua, to align study procedures before the launch of the trial in Mozambique. 
In Guinea-Bissau, we have enrolled ~300 health care workers. Our analyses show that >20% have COVID-19 antibodies; most have not noticed that they were ill. Perhaps this is why many Guineans said no to the COVID-vaccines that were rolled out in April. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
