I'm currently sitting in exam room #1 waiting the requisite 30 minutes after receiving my first Covid-19 vaccine injection. Of course I could be in the control group and received a saline injection. But the odds favor the real thing.
DW and I volunteered and are participating in the Novavax phase 2 trial. There are 5 study groups with one control and 4 active groups. 5ug and 25ug doses with and without 50ug Matrix-M adjuvant.
The formal study name is SARS-CoV-2 Recombinant Spike Protein Nanoparticle Vaccine with Matrix-M adjuvant
If my reaction to this adjuvant is anything like my reaction to Shingrix, I will know I got the real thing.
This research group is currently administering 5 different vaccine trials. DW asked why we both were assigned to the Novavax trial and was told that trial needs more of our demographic.
The trial will last at least 13 months and require at least 7 clinic visits and many Nasal swab and blood tests.
If a Covid-19 vaccine is approved and available before the end of this trial, we will be notified if in the control group so we can opt to withdraw from the study.
Any other forum members involved in a vaccine trial or considering volunteering?
