-Immunogenicity of RSV MAT in a sub-cohort of maternal participants and their infants
-Transfer of RSV-specific antibodies from a sub-cohort of maternal participants vaccinated with 1 dose of RSV MAT to their infants at the time of delivery
-Reactogenicity of 1 dose of RSV MAT in a sub-cohort of maternal participants
-Safety (Unsolicited AEs, Medically Attended AEs, SAEs, Pregnancy outcomes, pregnancy related AE of special Interest [AESIs]) in maternal participants
-Safety (Neonatal AESIs, Medically Attended AEs, SAEs) in infants born from vaccinated mothers |
