The study includes the registration process for citizens who voluntarily decide to help verify the effectiveness of the vaccines that are being produced in the world.
Secretary Miyerlandi Torres said that a phase is now beginning in which 300 volunteers are selected for the analysis of effectiveness at the population level. “It is good news because it puts us in an international context and if it becomes effective we will have an immunized community.”
The Center for Pediatric Infectology Studies, under the scientific direction of doctor Eduardo López, was entrusted with the task when these vaccines have passed the first phases, in which they have shown that they are safe, that they protect, that they do not cause harm. Follow-up is for one or two years depending on the protocol.
