Abu Dhabi is currently conducting the third phase clinical trial for a COVID-19 vaccine and they’re looking for volunteers.

The trials are being performed by Abu Dhabi-based G42 Healthcare in cooperation with China’s Sinopharm CNBG and they require up to 15,000 volunteers.

It was previously announced that only participants in Al Ain and Abu Dhabi could join the trials, however the location requirements have changed and the registration website, 4humanity.ae has listed the new requirement which simply states you must be a UAE resident.

You must be a UAE resident, between 18 years – 60 years of age to apply for the COVID 19 – Vaccine Phase III Clinical Trial
