Inside a COVID-19 Clinical Trial

Written by Yourway | August 14, 2020

What should you expect when signing up for a COVID-19 clinical trial? Vaccine developers are looking for high-risk candidates, and those likely to be exposed to the disease – though 50% will receive a placebo. While protocols differ slightly, participants can expect mild side effects such as fatigue, ache at the injection site, and chills. “Despite the urgent demand for COVID vaccines that work, trial volunteers shouldn’t worry that corners are being cut on safety,” said Dr. William Schaffner, professor of infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University. Yourway’s direct-to-patient service offering is a proven effective approach to personalized.
