Let us be the generation that stands up to cytomegalovirus (CMV), a contagious viral infection that can harm an unborn child. Learn more about a clinical trial for a potential vaccine and how you can join.
CMV is a leading cause of infectious birth defects around the world. CMV is a common viral infection that usually goes unnoticed or only causes mild symptoms in healthy people. But if a woman becomes infected with CMV while she is pregnant, she can pass the infection to her unborn baby. This can cause her child to suffer long-term disability due to birth defects, including hearing loss, or even death in very severe cases. Currently, there is no approved vaccine against CMV.
