'Seeing all those people say ‘Thank you for doing this’ makes me feel like we’re doing something really important.'

In December 2019, Jessica Moreno gave birth to a baby boy. As she and her husband were settling into life with an infant, the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Like so many, Moreno heard emerging news with some panic.

“Our whole motivation for all this continuing to be locked down is that we are scared,” she said. “He’s had all his other vaccines and we know he has a functioning immune system and that’s wonderful. And yet, we’re still really quite scared of him being exposed without any protection.” This call means that for 14 months her son would be part of the double blind study, a type of research where neither the participants or the investigators know who receives the vaccine and who receives a placebo. He’ll receive two shots, four weeks apart and he will undergo some blood tests every few months to measure his antibody response.

Enrolling her son in the trial also felt like a way for her family to bolster efforts dedicated to ending the COVID-19 pandemic.
