Satellite Sites

Satellite Sites

Our primary clinical research site is that of Senders Pediatrics in the Cedars on the Green Health Care Center on Green Road. We have partnered with an additional site, geographically located within 2 miles of the Senders Pediatrics location and demographically similar in size, socioeconomic status and racial makeup. We have developed separate Policies and Procedures for utilization of this satellite site and, because of the geographic closeness, we have found that research monitors and other personnel are comfortable in providing supervision of this site during routine visits to the Senders Pediatrics site.

New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and from Harvard University, fails to find a link between Menactra, the vaccine currently licensed to protect against meningococcal meningitis in adolescents and adults, and Guillain Barre disease, a neurologic condition. In a study of over 4.5 million 11-18 year olds, there were no cases of Guillain Barre disease in the 45 days after getting Menactra. According to Dr. Carol Baker, the chair of the Meningitis Task Force for the CDC, this study should put to rest any lingering concerns about a relationship between Menactra and Guillain Barre disease.
