My partner is taking part in the trial in Oxford. So far there was a bit of an anomaly on her blood work so they're bringing in her in for another round of tests but I'm happy to ask her to share (or allow me to share by proxy) her experience. Obviously she has no idea whether she is in the control group or not.

Are they receiving any compensation?

Here's the information sheet - https://www.covid19vaccinetrial.co.uk/participate-trial-oxfo...

> If you participate in the study until the end, you will receive a total payment of between £190-625, dependent on group.

My housemate hoped to take part but was not selected.

It'll depend how far she progresses but the range of £150-£600 is what we have been told

I don't think so. Travel expenses refunded I think.
