Meningococcal Vaccine Study for Infants

After you submit your child’s 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?

Your child is 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 child’s information?

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

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