NOW THESE STUDIES DO TAKE TIME AND FOR THESE VOLUNTEERS THE STUDY WILL COME WITH MORE THAN TWO YEARS OF COMMITMENT. I THINK WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE. IT’S HAVING THIS MUCH EFFECT ON THE COUNTRY AND ON THE WORLD. THE THE GREATER YOUR CHANCES OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE GREATER CHANCES BY CONDUCTING MULTIPLE STUDIES WITH DIFFERENT APPROACHES AND DIFFERENT MOLECULES BAPTIST HEALTH IS WORKING WITH THE DRUG MANUFACTURER MODERNA, WHICH IS PROVIDING THE VACCINE. THIS IS VIDEO FROM THE INSIDE OF THE BAPTIST HEALTH LAB IN LITTLE ROCK. THE STUDY WILL BE A DOUBLE-BLIND STUDY WHICH MEANS BOTH THE DOCTORS AND THE VOLUNTEERS WILL NOT KNOW WHETHER THEY’RE GETTING THE TRIAL VACCINE OR A PLACEBO DOSAGE THEN THE VOLUNTEERS WILL WILL BE MONITORED FOR 24 TO 25. MONTHS WHEN YOU’RE SITTING WAITING FOR THE VACCINE A RANDOMIZATION PROCESS OCCURS, WHICH MEANS THAT IT’S LIKE FLIPPING A COIN BUT IS NOT REALLY A COMPUTER DOES IT BUT IT TELLS YOU MRS. JONES IS GOING TO GET A PLACEBO. WELL, WE DON’T KNOW THAT BUT THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO KNOW THAT ARE THE UNBLINDED PHARMACIST YOU CAN STILL SIGN UP FOR THE STUDY, BUT THERE ARE A FEW REQUIREMENTS YOU EITHER HAVE TO BE OLDER THAN 65 OR BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 64.

SO PEOPLE ARE VERY SEEM TO BE VERY ANXIOUS TO BE IN THESE STUDIES. WE REALLY HAD EVEN THOSE NUMBERS SOUND LARGE. WE’VE HAD A TREMENDOUS RESPONSE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW YOU CAN APPLY FOR THE COVID-19 VACCINE SAdvertisementArkansas hospital needs volunteers for COVID-19 vaccine studyThe Baptist Health Center for Clinical Research in Little Rock is looking for 800 Arkansans to volunteer for its COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial. Dr. Richard Pellegrino with Baptist Health CCR said the center is working with the drug manufacturer Moderna, which is providing the vaccine. "I think when you have something of this magnitude that is having this much effect on the country and on the world, you'll have greater chances by conducting multiple studies with different approaches and different molecules," Dr. Pellegrino said. The study will be a double-blind study, which means both the doctors and the volunteers will not know whether they are getting the trial vaccine or a placebo dosage. Dr. Pellegrino said the volunteers will be monitored for 24 to 25 months after they receive the vaccine and they will have to make eight visits to the Baptist Health CCR. "When you're sitting and waiting for the vaccine randomization process, it is really like flipping a coin, but a computer tells us that 'Mrs. Jones' is going to get the placebo. We don't know that. The only people that know that are the unblinded pharmacists," he said. To be eligible to participate in the study, there are a few requirements:65-years-old or older, retired or working18 to 64-years-old currently working outside of your homeHave not been diagnosed with COVID-19 Volunteers will be compensated up to $1,125 for their participation and for travel time to and from Little Rock.If you aren't chosen for this COVID-19 vaccine study, Dr. Pellegrino said you still could be selected for other future COVID-19 vaccine trials. "This has really turned everybody's world upside down, so people seem very anxious to be in these studies. We've had a tremendous response and we're going to need it. In order for us to continue to look at other vaccines, we're going to need people in Arkansas," he said.Click here to see if you qualify to volunteer for the study.The Baptist Health Center for Clinical Research in Little Rock is .
