    The Jenner Institute Laboratories University of Oxford Old Road Campus Research Building Roosevelt Drive Oxford OX3 7DQ 1st May 2020 Dear Prof Gilbert, Thank you for the research of critical global importance which you and your team have undertaken into a potential vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. As patients and the families of people affected by COVID19, health workers, and public health and social justice campaigners, we are now writing this open letter to you with urgent questions about the licence agreement with Astra Zeneca announced yesterday. We believe that there should be no monopolies in the time of a pandemic - and they should never prevent patients getting affordable access to important diagnostics, medicines or vaccines. We kindly ask that you please respond to the following points: 1. Please make the full terms of the licence agreement with Astra Zeneca public, as has been normalised through the global public health standards set by the Medicines Patent Pool. 2. Can you please provide information on the patents related to the ChAdOx technologies, such as PCT application numbers and information about patent applications at national patent offices and the EPO? 3. Can you please confirm what safeguards have been included in the agreement to guarantee access and affordability for the NHS and for the billions across the world whose lives and livelihoods are threatened? 4. Can you assure us that the agreement with Astra Zeneca is a non-exclusive licence and that it will allow other manufacturers to make and supply quality-assured versions of the vaccine? 5. What efforts have been made to ensure non-patent based monopoly protections, such as regulatory exclusivities, are not enforced on this vaccine? 6.
