Wuhan citizen Ren Chao did a thing that made him proud at the age of 36-becoming a volunteer for the New Crown vaccine clinical trial.

"Everything is normal, body temperature is maintained at about 36.5 degrees Celsius, and there are no other adverse reactions and symptoms of discomfort." He said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency.

Asked about the original intention of signing up, Ren Chao said that when he saw the nation ’s medical care enthusiastically supporting Wuhan, he felt that he “owed a big deal”. At the same time, as a veteran, "When the motherland needs it, stand up and stand in front of the chest." Therefore, he chose to "rush up."

Recruitment notices show that this study plans to recruit 108 qualified volunteers, divided into low, medium and high dose vaccine groups, 36 people in each group. One dose was given to the low- and medium-dose vaccine groups, and two shots were given to the high-dose vaccine group (one shot each for the left and right arms).

Volunteers were required to be healthy adults aged 18 to 60 years, with no history of vaccination allergies, no history of new coronary pneumonia or infection, and be able to complete a 6-month study follow-up. The whole process requires 7 blood sample collections, mainly for antibody testing. The blood collection time was 7 days before the vaccination, the day of the vaccination, and the 7th, 14th, 28th, 3rd, and 6th months after the vaccination.

After receiving a medium-dose vaccine on the 20th, Ren Chao began to receive 14 days of quarantine observation at the designated location.

He told reporters that during the quarantine period, one person had one room, and three meals a day were delivered by the staff to the door. He records his physical condition and temperature changes on the vaccination diary card every day. An electronic thermometer is attached to the armpit to monitor body temperature for 24 hours.

Ren Chao often runs a marathon and thinks he has a good foundation. Before the vaccination, he had a detailed understanding of the project process, precautions, risk prompts, and disposal measures. "There is nothing to fear. I believe in scientists. We believe that we can overcome the epidemic."

"Heavy and powerless" is the most direct feeling of 27-year-old college student Zhu Aobing about the epidemic. A friend's mother died of new coronary pneumonia, and he didn't know how to comfort him. Seeing the news of mourning his mother in the circle of friends and friends, he did not hold back and wept bitterly.

"I want to do something, even if it can bring a little help to this epidemic." Zhu Aobing was from a military family. He had been volunteering in the community until he became a volunteer of the New Crown vaccine clinical trial.

Zhu Aobing participated in the low-dose test group. The night when the physical examination passed, he was so excited that he could not sleep. Zhu Aobing said, "I know my parents are worried. The light in their room turned on that night."

During the quarantine, in addition to routine inspections and taking some photos and videos for the expert team, Zhu Aobing spent the rest of his time on internet classes, homework assignments, games, and fitness. Every evening during dinner, he will video chat with his parents to report his physical condition.

Zhu Aobing is normal so far. He plans to wait for the epidemic to end, pick up his beloved camera to record the beauty of the city, go cycling by the East Lake once, and walk around Hualin and Jiqing Street.

35-year-old Jin Guanping was the first woman to be vaccinated. "I have been working and living in Wuhan for 15 years. I have watched the sanitation and the environment here become better and better. I want to protect this beauty." She became a volunteer after closing the city in Wuhan. When she heard about the recruitment of vaccine clinical trial volunteers, she signed up as soon as possible.

Jin Guanping told reporters that she is engaged in the pharmaceutical industry and has been concerned about vaccine information and has confidence in vaccine safety.

Diet, mentality, physical condition ... Ren Chao, Zhu Aobing, Jin Guanping will record daily life on social networking sites.

Faced with praises from netizens such as "great" and "hero," they said, "We just did one thing that we can do." (End)
