HOUSTON โ Bill King is providing a first-hand account as he participates in AstraZenecaโs COVID-19 vaccine trial. King received his first vaccination on Monday. He received his first shot Monday and is set to receive his second shot on December 21. โIโm frankly glad I was in the AstraZeneca because itโs really important to have (a) very affordable, easy to distribute vaccine that we can get out to the entire world,โ King said. King said he believes AstraZenecaโs Covid vaccine will be easier to distribute because it doesnโt require super cold storage.
Companies enrolling Houstonians to volunteer for vaccine trial
HOUSTON โ The latest COVID-19 vaccine study is enrolling participants in the Houston area. Privia Health and research partner Javara are looking for volunteers in The Woodlands, as part of a trial of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Also this week, Pfizer and Moderna said their respective vaccines are around 95 percent effective against the coronavirus. โAny vaccine thatโs authorized by the FDA, I will take and if it turns out that one of these doesnโt last very long, ya know what? โWhen the vaccine comes out, weโre not going to have enough to vaccinate everyone simultaneously so itโll be in stages,โ McDeavitt said.
