Anil Hebbar, who lost 10 friends to coronavirus, is taking part in Oxford University's vaccine trials.

It was not easy for Mr Hebbar to convince his family to join what is essentially an altruistic - and potentially risky - trial.

In early October, he called up a hospital in Mumbai which was conducting the second and third phases of the trials. He was told that 55 people had volunteered for the six-month trial, but finding the remaining 45 in a planned 100-volunteer trial at the hospital was "becoming difficult".Next morning, he drove to the hospital where doctors took a blood sample and swabs for a Covid-19 test.

"It was a very smooth and painless process. I just felt a bit tired, possibly because I had been driving around the city a lot," Mr Hebbar said.
