Hi Courtney - I was in a vaccine trial at UW from 1/2004-10/2004. I had no side effects and really enjoyed interacting with Dr. Disis (mainly) and occasionally with Dr. Salazar. I did annual follow-ups for 5 years and now I'm still in their database but it is all just a pleasant memory.

I live a 3 hour train ride south of Seattle so it was no big deal to travel there every 3 weeks while in the main part of the trial. My sons were at UW and I loved getting to know the city.
