The winter vomiting bug affects millions of Britons every year, but a new vaccine could help reduce the massive impact of norovirus.

The first norovirus vaccine could soon be rolled out across the UK - but what symptoms should we look out for in the meantime?

The world’s first norovirus vaccine is set to be trialled by the NHS in a bid to ease the strain on already stretched hospitals.

A new vaccine against the winter vomiting bug, norovirus, is being tested on volunteers after preliminary findings indicated the injection elicited a “strong immune response”.

A norovirus vaccine based on the mRNA technology that helped to defeat Covid will be trialled in the UK for the first time, experts will announce on Wednesday.

It is hoped a study will show the jab is effective against the highly infectious disease which puts the NHS under "huge strain" and costs taxpayers around £100m a year.

A randomised clinical trial of an mRNA vaccine against norovirus will be launched in the UK within the next two weeks, it has been announced.

A new vaccine is to be trialled in the UK to deal with norovirus. Also known as the 'winter vomiting bug', norovirus is a highly transmissible stomach bug that causes vomiting and diarrhoea.

The new mRNA vaccine from Moderna will enter final stages of testing within the next two weeks, with results so far showing it creates a “strong immune response”.

Wes Streeting said the virus places the health service under 'huge strain' every winter and costs taxpayers around £100million a year.
