NASAL VACCINATION AGAINST RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS IN YOUNG CHILDREN (CHILD-INNOVAC)
Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,
"Respiratory infections are the most frequent cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. For many respiratory pathogens no vaccine is available, for others classical immunisations remain insufficiently effective.
