During Phase 1, small groups of people receive a trial vaccine. Phase 2, the clinical study is expanded and the vaccine is given to have characteristics (such as age and physical health) similar to those whom the new vaccine is intended. In Phase 3, the vaccine is given to thousands of people and tested for efficacy and safety. Many of the vaccines go on to undergo Phase 4 for ongoing studies after the vaccine is approved and licensed. Once the vaccines are approved the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for regulating the vaccines in the United
