Thanks for all the interest in our inhaled COVID vaccine study. At the present we have enough participants for the next part of the Phase 1 study, but stay tuned for the upcoming Phase 2 study with sites in Hamilton, Ottawa and Halifax.
Update on our inhaled COVID vaccine trial. Ready to enrol healthy participants who have had COVID and at least 3 doses of a mRNA vaccine. Message me at [email protected]. I will put you in touch with the research coordinator. Results so far looking good - seeing immune responses
