Clinical Study
NeXXstep Study (infant pneumonia vaccine)
Your baby may be eligible to take part in this research study if your baby is healthy, about 2 months old, and has not been previously vaccinated with any pneumococcal vaccine. The purpose of this study is to see if an experimental vaccine can prevent serious infections due to a germ called Streptococcus pneumoniae. These types of germs can lead to pneumonia and other types of respiratory infections.
