CLINICAL TRIAL PHASES There are three clinical trial phases for efficacy and safety before a vaccine can be approved for use by humans. The phases differ from each other, most significantly in their scale: In Phase I, a vaccine is tested on small patient groups. In Phase II, a vaccine is tested on larger groups of at least 100 patients; researchers can also test their candidate vaccine in specific subgroups, such as people with preexisting conditions, or patients with particular demographic characteristics, such as a higher age group. In Phase III, a vaccine candidate is tested on at least 1,000 patients. MICHAEL GREECE
