Cedar Rapids, IA (AP) — An eastern Iowa official is participating in a trial for a COVID-19 booster shot and it’s the second time she’s been part of one.
KGAN-TV reports that Cedar Rapids City Council member Ashley Vanorny traveled Friday to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for the trial for a booster shot manufactured by Pfizer.
The trial is expected to last a year. Vanorny received the first of two Pfizer shots in August 2020. At the time, she didn’t know whether she received the vaccine or a placebo.
She also didn’t know whether her shot Friday was a placebo.
