About this event
A limited number of Harvard affiliates can register to participate in this multidisciplinary, in-person panel aimed at discussing the complexities of the COVID-19 clinical trials from the perspectives of those planning the trials to the volunteers on the receiving end of the vaccines. Besides being able to participate in the discussion, registrants will also have access to view the Brazilian documentary "Volunteer ***1864," which portrays the experiences of ordinary Brazilians who volunteered to participate in COVID-19 clinical trials, directed by panelist Sandra Kogut.
