Dr. William Petri, the Wade Hampton Frost Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Virginia Department of Medicine, spoke to Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge residents recently about the care and treatment of people with COVID-19.
Now, he’s written an article about future COVID-19 vaccines. The article first appeared in The Conversation and was then published by UVA Today.
Dr. Petri breaks down the several Phase 3 studies that are currently under way, how the vaccines work, side effects observed, and most importantly—how we’ll know a vaccine is safe.
He mentions it may not be life back to normal next year, but all signs point to a healthier 2021.
