Overview
A Strep B Vaccine Research Study is Enrolling Now
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) infection is a leading cause of hospitalizations in infants, with most GBS-related deaths in hospitals occurring in babies under 3 months. This research study is testing a maternal Strep B vaccine. Your experience can make a difference! Join now!
About the Study
Clinical research helps us understand how well a maternal Strep B vaccine protects newborns. It’s essential for learning how long the protection lasts, whether repeat doses are needed in future pregnancies, and how to ensure the best outcomes for both mothers and babies. This research leads to better prevention strategies and helps protect infants from serious illness, hospitalizations, and complications caused by GBS infection.

To qualify, you must meet the following conditions:
- Between 18 and 49 years old and currently pregnant

- Pre-pregnancy BMI was 40 or lower
