ATLANTA — Emory University researchers have started vaccinating adult volunteer participants in the first of several national clinical trials of a new H1N1 vaccine.
The Emory clinical trial will evaluate the safety and immune response to an H1N1 vaccine and help determine how the pandemic and seasonal flu shots should be given to make it most effective. The results of the trial will help determine how to begin a fall 2009 pandemic flu vaccination program.
Dr. Mark Mulligan at Emory says a second study focused on small children and young adults will begin in about a week.
