Explanation:

- The passage describes an early trial of a coronavirus vaccine researched by scientists at Oxford University.

- For blank no. 3, the sentence is: "British researchers first began testing the vaccine in April in about 1,000 people, half of (3) ______ got the experimental vaccine."

- Option 1, "whose": Typically used to indicate possession. It doesn't fit here as we are referring to people, not possession.

- Option 2, "what": Used for things, not people, so it is inappropriate in this context.

- Option 3, "whom": Correctly refers to the people who received the experimental vaccine. It is used as the object of the clause here, making it the right choice.

- Option 4, "which": Generally used for things, not people, making it incorrect in this context.

Given this analysis, "whom" is the right word to fill the blank correctly.
