Overview
There is no Group B streptococcus (GBS) vaccine currently available to help mothers protect their newborns from GBS disease. Researchers are working on developing a vaccine, which may become available one day in the future. Phase I and II clinical trials among healthy, non-pregnant adults of monovalent polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines of GBS disease-associated types have shown these vaccines to be well tolerated and immunogenic.[1][2] A recent, double-blind randomized trial of a conjugate vaccine against GBS serotype III among non-pregnant women of reproductive age found a significant delay in acquisition of colonization with the vaccine-serotype among vaccine recipients.[3][4]
