00:00 Well, this new COVID treatment is not only life saving, it could be life changing for
00:06 many people because it is specifically for those people who are suffering from autoimmune
00:13 issues.
00:15 And this COVID treatment, it targets all forms of COVID, including some of those new sub
00:21 variants that we are seeing.
00:22 So this vaccine is being dubbed Supernova.
00:26 And according to experts working on this, they say that it works almost immediately
00:31 and can provide protection for at least six months and beyond that as well.
00:37 So it's long lasting protection.
00:39 And it is for those who potentially are fighting blood cancers, who have recently had a transplant,
00:46 and who have weakened or with autoimmune conditions.
00:50 So the first Australian trials are beginning here in Brisbane.
00:55 And really what it could do is provide those people with those issues a new lease on life
01:00 because we all know that life has gone back to normal across all of Australia.
01:06 But for those people suffering from those autoimmune conditions, they still very much
01:11 have to be very careful with where they go and potentially wearing masks when they're
01:15 outdoors as well.
01:16 So this for them could be could be a real game changer.
01:20 So that they're inviting people with autoimmune conditions to come forward and be a part of
