More than 1000 children are being sought for a study to learn more about sore throats and how best to prevent them.
The STAMPS study, led by Australian Strep A Vaccine Initiative (ASAVI) partners the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and the Telethon Kids Institute, is recruiting 1050 healthy children, aged 3-14 years, in Melbourne and Perth.
Murdoch Children’s project lead Professor Andrew Steer said the study would investigate how many children got sore throats, what was the most common cause of a sore throat and how sore throats could change during different seasons of the year. The information collected will help inform how a vaccine could be used to prevent a wide range of illnesses caused by Strep A.
