DAVID,

He is beginning the first vaccine on Monday, 04/02/07 - he is in the third phase of the trial - as to openings, I suggest you contact Dr. Maura Gillison at Johns Hopkins. She is our MO as well as head of the trial. I don't have her card with me right now but if you need more information, e-mail me and I will get that for you. There are several pre-trial tests to have done i.e. neck scan, tetanus shot, bloodwork, skin test. GailMac who posts regularly on this site knows quite a bit about the trial as well. Her husband just completed this vaccines. So far no side effects. Just hopefully added insurance and help in the fight against this terrible disease.
