Show Appreciation; Send Snacks

Patients with chronic conditions regularly recognize the hard work and dedication of their healthcare providers and the staff who support them. In the face of COVID-19, these providers are facing tremendous obstacles as they continue to provide lifesaving care for their patients. All around the world, impromptu expressions of appreciation for healthcare professionals on the frontline of the war with COVID-19 have blossomed into endearing demonstrations of support. At designated times grateful Americans step out onto their balconies, open their windows, or stand on their front porches to sing, play instruments or applaud the tireless dedication of healthcare workers. These ovations are well-deserved but can leave us wanting to do even more for healthcare heroes on the frontlines that continue to sacrifice for each of us. If you are looking for another way to show your appreciation, Snacks 4 Doctors can deliver snacks to healthcare facilities or professionals in any community. It is a great way to let those in the medical field know that we appreciate all of their hard work and extend them a moment of respite during a busy shift.

“This Phase 1 study, launched in record speed is an important first step…” said NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. The investigational vaccine has shown promise in animal models; this next step examines it in humans. The study is evaluating different doses of the experimental vaccine for safety and its ability to induce an immune response in humans.

At this phase, study participants, 45 healthy adults between ages 18-55, will receive two doses of the vaccine about 28 days apart. They will return for follow-up visits between vaccinations and for a year after the second shot. Investigators will test blood samples of trial participants to identify and measure the immune response to the experimental vaccine. The clinical trial protocol is rigorous and methodical with patient safety central to each phase.
