HENRICO Co., Va. (WWBT) - While a third COVID-19 vaccine is still in the works here in the United States, there is a way you could get that vaccine ahead of time through a clinical study.
Clinical Research Partners in Henrico is conducting the AstraZeneca/Oxford COVID-19 vaccine trials in the metro area and desperately needs more people of color to get involved.
“African Americans are dying at a much higher rate than our counterparts,” said Dyan Wright, a participant in the study.
They were in second grade in 1954 at St. Catherineâs School when their class was marched across Grove Avenue to Saint Bridget Catholic School. They remember that much.
They also remember the somewhat startling sight of nuns in their habits, which made a lasting impression on a pair of little Episcopalian girls. The injections, on the other hand, they really donât remember much at all.
Ashby Roberts and Caroline âCackyâ Winfree were âpolio pioneersâ â that was on the buttons and certificates they were given. They were part of a nationwide vaccine trial for the polio vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas Salk that involved 1.8 million children, according to the March of Dimes, then known as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which helped organize the trial.
