1Day Sooner Human Challenge Trials Discussion

Human challenge trials deliberately expose participants to infection in an effort to study diseases and test vaccines or treatments. But is this an effective way of helping others? How much risk is too much? And should volunteers be compensated?

Learn and explore the ethics of human challenge trials with 1Day Sooner - a non-profit organization born in the COVID-19 pandemic to represent challenge trial volunteers who wanted to rapidly accelerate the deployment of COVID-19 vaccines.

We'll have two representatives from 1Day Sooner to come and discuss these issues with us. They'll talk about what their organization does, the pros and cons of human challenge trials, and how you can advocate for pandemic safety & preparedness.
