New Study to Improve Development of Vaccines, Therapeutics

Researchers have created Controlled Human Infection Models for vaccine development where they deliberately infect healthy volunteers under very carefully controlled clinical conditions. With this, studies can be safely carried out during a pandemic and provide valuable information that is difficult to obtain in traditional field studies.
