We present a study protocol designed to test the safety and efficacy of the 2019 Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) vaccine in
patients with major psychotic disease. A secondary objective is to investigate optional vaccination methods for these patients. In a selfexperiment,
a Chinese psychiatrist examined the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine under clinical use of typical antipsychotic
agents and sedatives (olanzapine, duloxetine, and diazepam). For patients with extremely drug-resistant conditions, the safety of the
COVID-19 vaccine under electroconvulsive therapy was also investigated. The entire study process was recorded on high-definition
video. This clinical study protocol is, to our knowledge, the first of its kind. Our findings will shed new light on the protection of patients
with psychotic diseases from COVID-19 infection.
