Help Us Protect Babies from RSV
Are you pregnant and planning to give birth in Bradford?
We’re inviting expectant parents in Bradford to take part in a research study exploring how babies develop protection against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). RSV is a very common virus that can sometimes cause serious illness in young children, especially those born early.
What the study involves?
The study has two parts:
Part 1. Collecting samples from you and your baby at birth to measure early RSV protection
Part 2. Collecting a second sample from your baby at around six months old to see how protection changes over time
You will also be asked to complete a brief questionnaire about your and your baby’s health and a few details about your household.
Why take part?
Your involvement will help researchers:
• understand how babies naturally develop immunity to RSV
• compare protection in premature and full-term babies
• learn how long protection lasts when vaccination is given during pregnancy
Who can join?
• Anyone who is pregnant and giving birth in Bradford
• You need to be part of BiB4All. If you’re not already enrolled, we can help you join easily.
