The study is being funded by the National Institute for Health Research and has been adopted by the Medicines for Children Research Network.
Children who take part in the study would receive two doses of a swine flu vaccine three weeks apart at the outpatients department of the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children. A blood test would be taken (using a local anaesthetic cream) before and after the immunisation course to check their response to the vaccines.
Parents interested in enrolling their child in this study should visit the website or call 0117 342 0699 for further information.
This study will help in making decisions about which vaccine will be best for protecting children.
