Doctor From Oklahoma Helps Lead Clinical Trials For COVID-19 Vaccine
An Oklahoman and OSU Health Sciences Graduate has a key role in vaccine research, focusing on the vaccine trials that resulted in two gaining approval in the last week.
Dr Julie Ledgerwood led a briefing Friday for 200 Oklahomans eager to hear more about the vaccine and her role in making sure it's safe and effective.
"There was quite a bit of safety data at the FDA which helped us move quickly into phase one testing," said Ledgerwood.
The trials started in March.
“I think it's worth noting we were able to do this in really record time, and I mean that literally," Ledgerwood said.
