GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. â A doctor at Spectrum Health is part of the ongoing Johnson & Johnson vaccine clinical trial.
Back in December, 2020, Dr. Liam Sullivan, DO an Adult Infectious Disease Specialist at Spectrum Health signed up and was accepted into Johnson & Johnson s clinical vaccine trial.
He said, âThey give you an injection and they donât tell you which you get because itâs a randomized double-blinded trial, so they donât know and I donât know what I got.â
Based on his bodyâs reaction, Dr. Sullivan was sure heâd gotten the actual vaccine, not a placebo. He said he just didnât feel great the next day and progressively got more tired as the day went on. He also reported waking up with body aches and a low-grade fever the day after that. Overall, the symptoms lasted between 24-36 hours.
