I'm in the Pfizer trial but suspect ended up in the placebo group. They indicated since you don't know if you got the vaccine or not, and to avoid getting two different vaccines, that group may be given access to the trial vaccine once launched and help continue the studies.
For those questioning the population of the trial participants, I observed a broad cross section of people in the waiting area including hourly workers, university students and medical professionals.
