About the Study
RSV is a germ that can cause cold-like symptoms. In severe cases, RSV can cause cough, runny nose, sore throat and breathing problems. RSV affects people of all ages but can be more serious in infants, older adults, and people whose bodies cannot easily fight the germs.
The ultimate plan for this study vaccine is to prevent disease caused by RSV in infants and toddlers. However, prior to testing in children, this study vaccine has to be tested in healthy adults. Results from this study will help determine whether this experimental vaccine is safe and well tolerated in healthy adults prior to testing in children.
