More Than 2,000 Pittsburghers Have Registered To Participate In UPMC Coronavirus Vaccine Trial

Just last week, UPMC put out the call for 750 local volunteers to be inoculated with the vaccine under development by the pharmaceutical company Moderna.

“We’ve been hearing from people that have been calling that they want to do what they can because they want to live longer to see their grandkids grow up, and they want to make a difference so that their grandkids can go to school. And it’s just really heartwarming to hear how the community has responded and it’s exciting to bring the opportunity to the people of Pittsburgh,” said Dr. Martin.

they will conduct the first phase 3 trial, injecting some participants with the vaccine and others with a placebo to test its effectiveness.
