The EWG has also considered emerging prophylactic agents and its members have specific expertise in immunology and virology. RAPID C-19 was also advised by the independent COVID-19 Prophylaxis Oversight Group, which is chaired by an expert on infectious diseases and clinical trials.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham grouped question UIN HL3197 question first answered 10/11/2022 16:47:53 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
