This situation is basically a smaller Biotech company who’s strength is about doing the underlying science collaborating with a Big Pharma company who’s expertise is in running trials and working the regulatory channel to get drugs approved and then marketing drugs afterwards.
This makes me expect to find the information on the Pfizer website.
Huh, I called this morning and the guy I spoke to said it isn’t Pfizer doing the trial. They said I had to call the other (Austrian?) number on the page, or email info@valneva.com. I did the latter.
Yes. I heard back from them this morning and they recommended contacting the orgs who are doing the trials directly. I googled and called a couple and they both said they are closed to adults now. Only enrolling children and adolescents. I imagine it’s a lot easier to sign up adults for this type of thing...
I would also expect that children are the primary target demographic of the vaccine when it hits the market.
For that group there’s better protection against frivilous lawsuits and a good system to get your vaccine added to the general vaccine list which then equals a lot of demand.
Wow thanks! I was all over Google and the Valneva site but didn’t think to look at Pfizer.

That’s a bit unfortunate, did you email info@valneva.com for more info?
