First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study follows 200 pregnant women in Brazil who received the chikungunya vaccine (VLA1553) during pregnancy or shortly before. Researchers will track pregnancy and infant health up to 12 weeks after birth, comparing them to a similar group of women who got routine vaccines. The goal is to see if the vaccine is safe for both mother and baby.
