ChaiVs report The AAIR Charity is proud to raise fijnds for the wodd-renuwned asthma. altergy and respiratory research department at Univer5ty Hos1 Southampton Faculty of medlne The Faculty has experts who have made many important breakthroughs. from understanding mechanisms of disease to pioneering new treatments and irffluenang guidelines. During this year, the COMD-19 pandemic has Continued to have a global impact, affe¢lÈng all of our lives and we offer our sincere condolences to everyone who has bsl loved ones to COVID-19. Thankfulty. devekjpment ofeffective COVltk19 vattines ar their rolkout in the UK from December 2020 has helped limit COWD severity. hospitalwtion$ and deaths. Howevef. around the same time as the vaccine rotlouL we saw emergen in the UK of the Apha variant of SARS£oV-2 (the corortavirus that causes COWD-191 whh Th esbmated to be 4HO% nv)re transmissible than the wild- tyFe SARS£oV-2 with a consequent sUe n COWD-19 infectKJns. As we continue to see emergence of new SARS£oV-2 variants and to grasp the impact of long COVID on the INe5 of people, the pandemic has reinforced the imp)rtarte of research into rWmrai dis&qses. During 2020-2021, Southampton's respiratory dcctors. nurses and researchers have conb.nued to Wofk, caring for COVID-19 pakn.ents andlor rna.g substantiai contribulKmS to global inibatives to help test new Ireatsnents and vaG¢ines, arKJ to understand h(M SARS£oV-2 causes mikl disease in some people while Othe are much more severety affected. Wthin this activty. the MIR Charity has played a vital role in providing rapid supp)rt to pumFFpnme projects for COVftkretat&J research. For example, while vaccination opens a °light at the end of the tunnel" by pteCtIng against COVlEk19. we still need to understand what are the expectationslatttbJdes of severe asthma pabents towards VaInatIon. will there will be siJ&effects and do vaccines induce goc%l immune tespK)nses?
