Research

STAMP RSV is a multifaceted program of work with the single focus to prepare the community for the uptake of new and emerging RSV immunisation strategies by providing the evidence to inform public health policy.

We are evaluating new vaccines for a range of diseases including influenza, pneumococcal, meningococcal and common infections such as otitis media (glue ear).

The study aims to determine whether an RSV vaccine given to pregnant women during the third trimester can protect newborn babies from RSV infections.

Through co-design with community members, we hope to better understand the strengths and effectiveness of community-driven health promotion resources.

The main objectives were to evaluate effectiveness of the annual flu vaccine in young children, and the burden of flu on young children and their families.
