Did you know that by joining a vaccine study, you could help protect millions from dangerous viruses?
Your participation could make a real difference in public health. Here’s why these studies are so important:
- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause infections of the lungs and respiratory tract. RSV can lead to serious conditions like pneumonia, especially for children and seniors. In fact, RSV is the leading cause of pneumonia and bronchiolitis in infants in the U.S.
- Influenza has been responsible for 25,000 – 72,000 deaths in the U.S. during the 2023-2024 season (CDC). Research studies are crucial, especially for developing new vaccines to fight new strains and to protect children, seniors, and people with underlying medical conditions.
- COVID-19 continues to circulate and cause hospitalization and death. Variants can develop from mutations, or changes, to the genes of a virus. These variants can alter how contagious and dangerous viruses may be to those infected.
- Norovirus is often called “stomach flu,” but it’s not related to the flu. It’s a virus that causes stomach and intestine problems. In the U.S., norovirus is the top cause of vomiting, diarrhea, and foodborne illness. Norovirus affects millions of people every year. It spreads easily in places where people are close together, like schools and nursing homes.
