The organisation 1 Day Sooner argues this should not be left to chance.
It is made up of more than 30,000 would-be volunteers in 140 countries who say they are prepared to take part in challenge studies.
The campaign now has the support of more than 100 prominent figures, including 15 Nobel laureates, who have signed an open letter advocating this approach. They say it would involve healthy, young volunteers being deliberately given coronavirus after receiving the vaccine.
