Help find a vaccine for COVID-19

I signed up for a vaccine trial last night. There was an advertisement on Facebook. The trial I signed up for is phase 3 of Azd1222. I havd first appointment next week in Bloomington, MN. This is vaccine from Oxford. They are accepting people of all ages and with well-controlled chronic conditions.

@ihatediabetes- Good luck, and thank you for helping us all.

Thanks for posting this @merpreb

This most recent Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast with Dr. Gregory Poland, an infectious diseases expert and head of Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group, gives an overview of vaccines. He explains how vaccines work.

Thanks Merry! @merpreb - took the survey and registered 🙂

Thanks for this! I’m so torn about volunteering or not....even though I don t even know if they would accept me. Hehe. @migizii

@migizii- Hello- Good morning. Have you read all of the information so that you can make a choice? Is something frightening you?

There's a questionnaire people fill out on line first. Then you know right away if you're eligible. I don't know why this happened to me but I was directed to make an appointment right away. Then I got sent a link to my email to something called study hub. I had to activate it in 7 days. So I did and created a password. So people can start the process and drop out if they don't feel comfortable.

@merpreb, Thank you for posting this request for participation in clinical trial studies. I have read the information and applaud Dr. Fauci for all he does, this included, and to you for making this request available to us in Connect. I will not be participating because of several serious health immune issues that prevent my wanting to be in any unnecessary contact with others. Hoping that many will participate and will share this with friends less compromised health wise. Thanks again for all you and our other mentors do to keep us well informed!

My concern is my lung disease - bronchiectasis- and how that may be affected by taking the vaccine

Thx for letting me know😊
