Lolly-- thank you so much for posting these. I'm considering a vaccine trial, and this is very timely.

Have you or anyone else reading this participated in a vaccine trial? I have just been offered to participate and I am trying to decide whether to do it. I am just concerned about side effects. Other than that I think it is a good opportunity. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
