What’s next
Pitt scientists want to begin the first of three stages of human testing for their covid-19 vaccine in the next several months. The first phase will involve trying the vaccine on healthy volunteers to test safety and dosage. Pitt scientists want to use volunteers from the Pittsburgh region. The second and third phases typically examine efficacy, side effects and adverse reactions, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The trials could be completed in 12 to 18 months, Pitt officials said. They have not yet determined how volunteers will be recruited.
