How to sign up for coronavirus vaccine trial: NIH, Kaiser
The first clinical trial for a potential coronavirus vaccine is now recruiting healthy volunteers.
Researchers are offering participants $100 for each in-person visit they complete.
If they complete all 11 visits over a 14-month period, those volunteers will receive $1,100.
The study is looking to enroll 45 healthy adults from ages 18 to 55 in the Seattle area to assess three doses of a potential vaccine against the novel coronavirus and will primarily focus on evaluating its safety.
Top US health officials have repeatedly said it will take at least a year to test a vaccine for both safety and effectiveness.
The study is based at Kaiser Permanente Washington’s research clinic in Seattle and plans to enroll 45 healthy volunteers from ages 18 to 55 years old.
