Are you aged 60 years or older? Help us find a way to prevent RSV disease.

Tristan Riley from Southern Clinical Trials Tasman

Older adults are at an increased risk of developing serious complications, including inflammation of the lungs or pneumonia, from respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. The main goal of the EVERGREEN Study is to see if an investigational study vaccine can prevent RSV disease caused by a respiratory syncytial virus in older adults.

You may be eligible to take part in the study if you are 60 years of age or older, can do your usual daily activities even with some interference from any health conditions, and are able to use smartphone, tablet or computer. Those who qualify may receive the investigational study vaccine and trial-related medical care at no cost and reimbursement for study-related travel expenses.

Participants may receive study-related care throughout the study from a team of experienced doctors and nurses, at our clinic in Stoke.
