We’re taking some time to discuss the COVID-19 vaccines with Dr. Steven Smith, senior vice president and chief scientific officer of AdventHealth. Dr. Smith is also the principal investigator of the Janssen Pharmaceuticals COVID-19 vaccine clinic trial on Orlando, Florida.
AdventHealth is one of five Adventist health care institutions within the NAD territory. It is also is one of the largest healthcare institutions in the U.S., with 80,000 employees operating on nearly 50 hospitals campuses in nine states.
In this episode, Dr. Smith walks us through vaccine development 101 and the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines. And plainly answers whether the COVID-19 vaccines should be trusted. Spoiler alert: Yes…they can definitely be trusted.
