About the Study

Texas A&M Health is participating in the PreventCOVIDU study, led by the COVID-19 Prevention Network (CoVPN), to see if the COVID-19 vaccine can prevent infection and transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
Texas A&M Health is looking for 2,000 young adults in Texas who are willing to undergo daily self-testing for COVID-19 as part of this study. Participants will be asked for their preference on receiving the vaccine, and those who are willing to be vaccinated will receive the FDA-authorized Moderna vaccine.

We hope to learn that we can safely DITCH OUR MASKS while bringing the pandemic to a close. Let's PROVE IT!

Eligible participants can earn up to $1,000 over four months of participation.

Study Eligibility

We are looking for adults 18-29 years old who:
  • Have never tested positive for COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 infection
  • Have not received any COVID-19 vaccine
  • Are willing to participate in research and attend study visits over four months

The knowledgeable study team at Texas A&M will answer all of your questions about the study and the COVID-19 vaccine.

Study Procedures

Participants in this study will:
  • Take daily COVID-19 tests at home and return them to the study team.
  • Answer questionnaires via mobile app.
  • Attend three to four in-person clinics to provide blood samples and vitals.
  • If willing, receive the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
  • Refer others who may be interested in taking part.
  • In the event of a positive COVID-19 test, participants will give an extra blood sample, record daily symptoms, and refer family and close contacts for a chance to participate, get tested and earn cash.

Participants will be compensated up to $1,000 for completing these study procedures. Close contacts who participate in contact tracing can be compensated up to $160 for their participation.

Technically it's authorized. Emergency use authorization. Approved? Maybe a bigger stretch.

My incoming freshman son is doing it. They pitched it at new student orientation early this summer. He may be in the minority that can do it given we live in College Station and unlike most incoming students he can get to campus to drops things off every couple of days.

Who the hell still owns a mask? You're about 15 months late with this.
