(CNN)The first coronavirus vaccine trial in the US is moving along at a good
clip, but needs more minorities to enroll if it is to succeed, officials
tell CNN.
While Black people and Latinos account for more than 50% of Covid-19 cases
nationwide, so far they make up only about 15% of participants in the nation
's first large-scale clinical trial to test out a coronavirus vaccine,
according to data obtained by CNN from a government official.
Black people represent 22% of coronavirus cases, but only 4.5% of Moderna's
study participants. Latinos represent 33% of cases, but only 10% of Moderna'
s participants. | F*****t
发帖数: 3219 | 2 Federal law and National Institutes of Health policy mandate inclusion of
minorities into clinical trials because vaccines and drugs might have a
different effect on them than they do on White people. Ideally, vaccine
trial participants should reflect the population that's affected by the
disease to determine the vaccine's efficacy and safety in those groups. | F*****t
