Safety of and Immune Response to a Human Parainfluenza Virus Vaccine (rHPIV3cp45) in Healthy Infants

Summary

Human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs) are a major health concern in infants and young children under 5 years of age, causing serious respiratory tract disease. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of and immune response to a new HPIV vaccine in healthy infants and children.
