Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) - Clinical Research Associates, Inc.

RSV Vaccine Studies

For Infants and Children Ages 6-Months to 5-Years-Old. Compensation is provided to study participants.

RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a common seasonal virus. Infants and children are at greater risk of acquiring RSV because of their maturing immune system and lack of prior exposure. Most of the time it causes a mild illness like a cold, but for some children RSV leads to a more severe lung problem.

Unfortunately, 2-3 infants out of every 100 with RSV infections become hospitalized. In fact, each year in the United States an estimated 58,000 – 80,000 children younger than 5 are hospitalized due to RSV infection.

Compensation of $720 - $1,040 is available for study participants.
