University Research Working on Norovirus Vaccine

[Pet Nit Noy]

This post isn't specific to Oceania, but the problem of norovirus keeps making its appearance on this board. I was delighted to read the following announcement in the University of Rochester's daily news/announcement email:

 

"Norovirus Vaccine Study Seeks Volunteers

 

The Vaccine Research Unit is looking for volunteers, age 18–49 or 60 and over who are in good health, to participate in a research study for a vaccine to prevent norovirus. The study requires two vaccine visits and five follow-up visits over 13 months. Volunteers in the study who make all study visits will be paid for time and travel. For more information, call 273-3990 or email vaccine_research_unit @urmc.rochester.edu."

 

I am not soliciting volunteers!! I simply want to let you know that talented researchers are focusing on a health issue that impacts the joy of cruising.
