I'm probably going to enrol our DS in this trial.

Currently, kids get a vaccine for only one strain of meningococcal disease...the study is looking at vaccines that will cover 4 other strands of the disease.

I understand the argument about not wanting to involve someone without their consent, but I also think it's really important that medical research be completed...and for it to be completed, they do need volunteers.

The ethics committees to allow these sort of trials to occur are very strict...

I guess it just comes down to personal preference.
