AMR Knoxville is still looking for people to participate in vaccine trials.
“There’s been a huge amount of money poured into vaccine research,” said Dr. Bill Smith. “Since the pandemic, they have gone to the forefront.”
Dr. Smith said new flu vaccines, for example, are testing mRNA technology — the same technology used in the Pfizer and Moderna coronavirus vaccines. He said they are also testing antibody technologies.
Dr. Smith said he hopes the new vaccine technology will make vaccines more effective against diseases, especially those which don’t currently have vaccines.
“Over the next few years, we’re going to see vaccines against diseases we’ve never had effective vaccines for previously,” Dr. Smith said.
Goins said the vaccine trial is just like visiting the doctor, but nicer.
AMR asks people interested to call 865-305-DRUG.
