An effective and safe COVID-19 vaccine is anxiously anticipated by millions of people around the world. A total of 12 vaccines are currently in Phase III (large scale) clinical trials around the globe. In this webinar, two experts in vaccine study design and implementation will present on the current state of clinical research toward a COVID-19 vaccine, review phase II and any new phase III trial data, discuss the end-points of vaccine clinical trials and the threshold(s) for FDA approval of a vaccine, and consider what a vaccine may – and may not – change in the course of the pandemic. Presentations will be followed by discussion and response to audience questions.
