Rigorous COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials preceded the approval of each vaccine. In this episode, I speak with Dr. Caitlin Mullarkey, an Assistant Professor at McMaster University with a research background in virology and vaccine development. We talk about her experience as a participant in the Medicago COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial in Canada. She answers questions about the specific vaccine technology, what the process was like, the next steps, and some of her reasons for participating. Listen to uncover behind-the-scenes action of the COVID-19 vaccine trial process and some other cool information on vaccine development!
