Emory University is looking for people to volunteer to receive the Swine Flu vaccine.

Emory University said in a statement that it is actively searching for volunteers to receive injections of the H1N1 vaccine, which has already been developed. There is little worry among the medical community that there would be any adverse side effects to volunteers. Instead, researchers at Emory are trying to decipher whether or not participants should receive just one round of shots, or more.

The university is trying to attract healthy Atlantans in particular, including men, women and children, who will receive compensation for several complete visits.

So, cool. Yet another job prospect! “Swine Flu Guinea Pig” is gonna look good on the ol’ resume! I’ll keep you posted.
