You may be eligible to participate in a research study led by UAB Pediatrics.

Babies typically receive four doses of the pneumococcal vaccine at 2, 4, 6, and about 12 months of age to help protect against infections such as ear infections, sinus infections, pneumonia, bacteremia (blood infection), and meningitis.

This study is designed to learn more about an updated version of the pneumococcal vaccine that covers additional types of pneumococcal bacteria. Participants will receive either the updated vaccine or the current vaccine that is already approved and in use.

✅ No blood draws are required

✅ Compensation is provided for your time
