HIV Trial Model, Recruiting Minority Groups for Vaccines
Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins discussed using the recruitment model from historical HIV trials to reach minority communities for COVID-19 vaccine testing. They emphasized the need for high representation from African American, Latinx, and Native American populations due to higher susceptibility and underlying comorbidities. The goal is to ensure the Phase 3 trials are properly representative of the groups hardest hit by the pandemic.
