A Tucson research center is one of 87 clinics in the United States selected to participate in Phase 3 of a COVID-19 vaccine trial.
Quality of Life Medical and Research Center, located on Tucson’s east side, is recruiting hundreds of community members to participate in the national trial. Moderna, a national biotechnology company, is leading the study and is just entering the third phase of research. The company wants to recruit up to 30,000 participants nationwide. In Phase 3, trial participants will receive two doses of the vaccine, or a placebo, 29 days apart. Researchers will follow them for up to two years, conducting regular antibody checks and monitoring them for any adverse reactions to the vaccine. If you want to take part in the study, email covid19@qlmc.com or call (520) 441-5573.
