I am proud to be participating in the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Study. After Moderna received the Emergency Use Authorization, I chose to be unblinded and learned I was in the placebo group last Wednesday. I then requested and received my first COVID-19 vaccine last week. I experienced mild swelling and pain at the injection site, but otherwise Iโm doing well. I am looking forward to the second vaccine in February. As a physician, I strongly recommend the vaccination. The vaccination has been well studied and has an effective and safe profile. Thank you to the Henry Ford Health System nurses, physicians, and staff for granting me the opportunity to participate in this study.
