We are looking for healthy volunteers aged 65 - 75 years old to take part in an RSV Challenge Study. 

The study involves a screening visit and an inpatient quarantine stay, during which participants will be deliberately given RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) and carefully monitored for 11 days.  

Depending on the study group, participants may undergo up to 3 bronchoscopy procedures, which will be fully explained by the study team. 

If you are eligible and want to take part, you will be reimbursed up to £2,700 for your time and inconvenience, depending on the study group.
