Abstract

Participants in medical research are the most valuable resource within health research, and their wellbeing must be regarded as paramount. Australia's national statement on ethical conduct in human research establishes that the burden is on researchers to safeguard the health, wellbeing and autonomy of their research participants. We argue that additional guidance is required in an area that has not been widely considered in the ethical research literature and policy: immunisation coverage of the research team.
