Now more than ever, we know how critical vaccines can be. Developing one that fights COVID-19 couldn’t be more important. The coronavirus has sickened millions and turned our lives at home, at work and at school upside down. Those of you at high risk for catching the virus due to age, work environment, location, or a chronic medical problem face an enormous challenge in keeping yourselves and your loved ones safe.

There’s something you can do.

Medical researchers are committed to changing the course. Right now, we need adults 18+ to step up and volunteer for research studies testing investigational COVID-19 vaccines. If you are between the ages of 18 & 84 with no history of COVID-19, please consider participating. By volunteering, you’ll be helping advance medicine for everyone.

WAIT.  Now that there are approved vaccines for COVID, do I need to stay in this trial? Are other vaccine trials even needed?

YES. You and volunteers like you remain critical!

Here’s why:

• Success of trials – In order to confirm vaccine safety and effectiveness, researchers need the data from all participants—including you.
• Multiple vaccines necessary – Some vaccines work better for some people versus others, for reasons including allergies or even needing a needle-free option. You likely know someone who would benefit from another vaccine.
• Worldwide need – demand exceeds supply. Vaccine supplies may not be available for everyone. But with multiple approved vaccines, more people can be protected—sooner.

Because of the global shortage of COVID vaccines, if you leave this trial there is no guarantee that you could receive an approved vaccine anytime soon.

Note: If you are eligible for and participate in a study, you have the right to discontinue your participation any time and for any reason. Participation is completely voluntary—you are under no obligation.

Your health will be monitored closely throughout the course of the study.

An important note regarding our research facilities:

Our staff works mostly with people who are healthy or have conditions that do not affect others. Our facilities are NOT standard medical practices that routinely treat sick patients. However, they are COVID-19 SMART, which means we use best practices to reduce virus exposure and ensure our facilities remain open and available for research.

Take the next step to see if you may qualify for local coronavirus vaccine studies.  But don’t delay — space is limited!
