The first made-in-Canada COVID-19 vaccine will begin human clinical trials on Tuesday, according to a Toronto-based biotechnology company.
Providence Therapeutics said 60 volunteers between the ages of 18 to 65 will be divided into three groups, and three different dose levels of the vaccine and a placebo will be administered to each group. These volunteers will be monitored for a total of 13 months, but enough data will have been collected by April 2021 to move on to Phase 2 in May 2021.
