UPMC, Pitt Looking For 750 Volunteers For Coronavirus Vaccine Trials

UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh are looking for hundreds of people to participate in its coronavirus vaccine trials.

Currently, Pittsburgh is being used as a test site for the potential Moderna vaccine, which the USDA recently cleared for Phase Three Clinical Trials.

Researchers are looking for 750 adult volunteers, who do not have weakened immune systems, to test out the vaccine.

Participants will either get the vaccine or a placebo, followed by a booster a month later. Doctors will then study the results.
