COVID-19 Northwestern Medicine Seeks Vaccine Volunteers - July 28, 2020
Northwestern Needs 5,000 Volunteers To Test Coronavirus Vaccines. Here’s How To Apply
Northwestern University has launched a coronavirus vaccine registry and is asking for 5,000 volunteers from the Chicago area to sign up. The university hopes to recruit adults over 18 years old who are at higher risk for contracting the virus, such as health care workers, grocery store employees, transit workers, retail workers, nursing home workers and factory workers. Northwestern also wants Black, Latino and Indigenous people to apply, as well as those with some underlying health conditions, since those are demographics disproportionately affected by the pandemic and more likely to suffer severe complications. Volunteers who are added to the registry will be contacted when they match the health profiles needed in clinical trials of potential coronavirus vaccines.
