The disastrous RSV vaccine led to the death of two infants and to hospitalization for the majority of other young clinical trial participants.
Since that time, vexed researchers have continued to deploy “trial-and-error approaches.” But they admit the “road to an effective RSV vaccine is paved with challenges,” in large part because of the tricky problem of “vaccine-associated disease exacerbation” — a problem that has
