Flu Vaccine Study for Children

After you submit your information, a Meridian enrollment specialist will contact you.

Participating in a study is an important decision — we’re here to help you before, during, and after studies.

Please note: Health insurance is NOT required to join.

Will my child benefit from this study?

You are not guaranteed to benefit from being in a clinical study. However, information gathered in this study may help uncover better ways to treat condition(s) for your child and others worldwide.

Is participation voluntary after I submit my information?

Yes. Participation in a study is entirely voluntary. In the informed consent process, you’ll learn about the product being studied, your role in the trial, potential side effects, tests that will be performed, and the number of visits required. You may sign an informed consent form to join the study only after you fully understand your child’s role in the study.

Will my child get a physical exam?

If you join the study, your child will receive a physical exam. They may also receive specific exams or tests — the results of which will be shared with you.

Will we receive compensation?

While participation in a clinical study is voluntary, you may be reimbursed for your travel and expenses. After you submit your information, a Meridian enrollment specialist will call you to talk about the study. Staff at the research clinic will discuss possible reimbursement with you.
