Human Subjects Get Involved After Approval From The FDA
IND application approval is usually a pretty exciting yet anxious time for scientists. Not only does it allow them to continue working on the vaccine, but it gives them peace of mind that everyone is going in the right direction. Scientists view the FDA as another set of eyes to ensure the safety of the vaccine.
The approval also means that scientists can start looking for human candidates to test the vaccine. To do this, they need to find people who are physically healthy or at least haven’t had the disease before. The plan is to infect humans with the virus so they can give scientists more information.
