Vaccines & Immunizations research studies are looking for volunteers in Florida, with study locations in Boynton Beach, Coconut Creek, Hollywood and 1 more town.
COVID-19, RSV, flu, pneumonia, shingles: vaccine and immunization research follows how people feel in the days after a vaccine and how they get through the season, alongside how people recover from infections. Side effects are the main question, and tracking them is the whole point.
The question people ask about vaccine research is the honest one: what if I react to it. Tracking exactly that is what these programs are for. Teams follow how people feel in the days after a vaccine, arm soreness, tiredness, fever, and how often colds, flu, RSV or COVID-19 show up across a season.
Taking part usually means one or two visits and then short check-ins by phone or app, often daily for the first week and then less often. Programs for infections and recovery work the same way from the other direction: they start soon after symptoms begin and follow how someone gets better over the following weeks. The clinical team explains which kind a program is before anyone decides.
An independent review board reads the plan for every vaccine and immunization program before it opens. Register your interest here and the clinical team will reach out with what is being followed nearby.

Frequently asked questions
What if I react badly to a vaccine in a program?
The clinical team checks in daily during the first days and is reachable at any hour for that reason. Every reaction, big or small, is written down, because that record is what the research is for.
Which vaccines does research in this area cover?
COVID-19, RSV, flu, pneumonia and shingles are the common ones, and programs change with the season. The clinical team says which vaccine a program follows on the first call.
How much time does a vaccine program take?
Usually one or two visits, then short check-ins by phone or app, daily for about a week and less often after that. Some programs follow people through a whole season.
Can I take part if I already had my yearly flu or COVID-19 vaccine?
Each program sets its own requirements, and timing of previous vaccines is one of the things the clinical team goes through on the call. Nothing is decided before that conversation.
What do infection and recovery programs follow?
Symptoms day by day from soon after an illness begins, how long recovery takes, and whether complications show up over the following weeks, alongside the care a person already gets from their own doctor.
Is there compensation for taking part?
Compensation may be available for your time and inconvenience.
