Kaiser Permanente Looking For Volunteers In Phase 3 COVID-19 Vaccine Trial
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Kaiser Permanente is looking for volunteers for a coronavirus vaccine trial.
Sacramento was selected as a test site for a late-stage COVID-19 vaccine trial. Kaiser started preparation for the Phase 3 clinical trial Wednesday.
They hope to enroll 1,400 volunteers from four sites in California and Oregon between the ages of 18 and 85 for the double-blind study. Half of the participants will get the real vaccine while others will get a placebo.
The vaccine was developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, sponsors of the trial.
