The first clinical trials for a coronavirus vaccine will take place in Seattle. Kaiser Permanente said it received federal permission to start testing a vaccine developed in Boston.
Lead Kaiser researcher Dr. Lisa Jackson said the virus may become a seasonal problem like influenza, or it may disappear as SARS did years ago. However, she said βthere is obviously a need for a vaccine and for treatments against this newly emerged virus so that is what we are working as rapidly as possible to accomplish.β
The initial trial will need 45 healthy adults. Jackson said that no research participants will be given a placebo.
