But don’t delay — space is limited!
WHAT IS
THE NOROVIRUS?
You might know it as a stomach bug or as it’s often incorrectly referred to: the stomach flu (incorrect because it’s not caused by the influenza virus and therefore not technically a flu). If you’re a bit more clinical, perhaps you call it viral gastroenteritis. Whatever you call it, it’s a highly infectious, particularly nasty illness with 29 strains and dozens of variants that infects 21 million people a year in the United States.
At best, norovirus causes days of discomfort from fever, body aches and
abdominal cramps along with other unpleasant symptoms. More serious
infections can result in hospitalization and, at worst, in rare cases, it even leads
to death. Dehydration is the primary culprit of the more serious cases due to
vomiting and diarrhea. The most likely people to experience a serious case of
norovirus are older adults and … you guessed it … the very young, a fact that’s
even more concerning considering up to 80% of children will experience a
norovirus infection before their first birthday.
Currently, there is no approved vaccine available for norovirus and no
treatments specifically for the virus beyond staying hydrated and letting the
illness run its course. We think it’s about time to change that, so we’re working
toward a future with no more norovirus or as we like to call it: NoMore NORO.
To do that we need to test investigational vaccines in a safe and controlled
manner to gain the necessary approvals. And to do that, we need you. See if you qualify today.

IS PEDIATRIC VACCINE RESEARCH SAFE?
The United States’ long-standing vaccine safety system ensures that vaccines are as safe as possible. Currently, the United States has the safest vaccine supply in its history. Millions of children safely receive vaccines each year. The most common side effects are very mild, such as pain or swelling at the injection site.
All approved vaccines have gone through a rigorous clinical trial process, with all data captured on efficacy and safety before the FDA reviews and approves them.
This trial is one of the necessary steps in the approval process to establish efficacy and safety before a larger trial is conducted. Previous trials were conducted with this investigational norovirus vaccine in up to 4531 healthy participants who have received different compositions of the adjuvant including 3692 adults and 839 children aged 6 weeks to less than 9 years. Results showed a good safety profile to date.
Vaccines can prevent infectious diseases that once killed or harmed many infants, children, and adults. The main risks associated with getting vaccines are side effects, which are almost always mild (redness and swelling at the injection site) and go away within a few days. Serious side effects after vaccination, such as a severe allergic reaction, are very rare and doctors and clinic staff are trained to deal with them. The disease-prevention benefits of getting vaccines are much greater than the possible side effects for almost all children.
