Hi there! I thought for this quarter I would post some information about the covid vaccine. I will do this in 3 parts

COVID 19 Vaccine Information Part 1:

The Trial Process:

Vaccines are generally tested on animals before entering into a 3-phase clinical trial process. Once all 3 phases of the trial process are complete, collected data can be submitted to Health Canada for review. See below for additional information.

http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/diseases-conditions/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine/vaccine-approval-process

Clinical trials are an essential component to the approval process of safe vaccines. Although there are approximately 150 clinical trials globally, only those that meet rigorous Canadian testing standards are suitable for distribution in Canada. Due to the pressing nature of developing a vaccine, manufacturers are using different approaches to fast tracking development. For additional information see the below link:

https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-
infection/prevention-risks/covid-19-vaccine-treatment/clinical-trials.html

The below link offers an overview of 150 COVID-19 that are ongoing throughout Canada
and Internationally and is being updated weekly. Trial topics are vast and include vaccine approval and studies pertaining to the long term effects of the virus. A synopsis and link are provided for each.

The Part 2 will be related to the specific vaccines that have been approved in Canada.
