Moderna Vaccine Study
Morehouse School of Medicine is one of 22 institutions across the United States to
participate in this important study to look at how well vaccinated young adults (18-29
years) are protected from getting CoVID-19 and also whether being vaccinated prevents transmitting the germ which causes CoVID-19 to others. We
already know that the vaccine can prevent serious CoVID-19 disease, but we do not know if the vaccine will work to
prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection in others and that is why this study is so important
for us to do.
We are seeking participants that have not yet been vaccinated and have never been
diagnosed with CoVID-19. We are also seeking participants who are not interested in
receiving the vaccine, as we want their contribution to this study.
‘Take the Shot’ will enroll 12,000 volunteer young adults across the nation to receive
the FDA EUA approved CoVID-19 vaccine (Moderna) and these volunteers will be monitored
for 5 months on how well CoVID-19 vaccinations protect and prevent transmission of
the virus that causes asymptomatic, mild, and severe disease among others who are around them.
