Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a very common, contagious virus that causes infections of the respiratory tract. RSV is a highly contagious virus that impacts everyone and in mild cases presents like a common cold. However, RSV can also cause more serious respiratory illness. Like influenza (flu), RSV is seasonal and is common during the winter months in temperate climates. RSV and flu are different viruses.
There is no vaccine yet to prevent RSV infection. Researchers are working hard to develop a combination RSV/flu vaccine, including here in West Palm Beach.
Palm Beach Research is looking for healthy women volunteers aged 18 to 49 to participate in a research study evaluating a potential combination RSV/flu vaccine. In this study, researchers want to learn how well this investigational vaccine works in helping to protect against the RSV and flu germs and how safe this investigational vaccine is.
