Overview

A Pneumonia Vaccine Research Study for Ages 50+

A new clinical research study is currently enrolling participants to evaluate an investigational pneumococcal (pneumonia) vaccine. Unlike most studies that look for unvaccinated individuals, this research specifically needs volunteers who have already received a pneumonia vaccine in the past. Your vaccination history makes you a valuable candidate to help researchers understand potential future options for pneumonia protection.
