Kinder- und Jugendärzte Hürth- Park, Dr. med. Ludwig Stapenhorst

At Kinder- und Jugendärzte Hürth- Park, Dr. med. Ludwig Stapenhorst, clinical research in Bacterial Infections and Mycoses focuses on preventing serious childhood infections through vaccination. The studies center on common and potentially severe diseases such as pneumococcal and meningococcal immunization, with the goal of evaluating how well new vaccine options protect infants and young children.

• Testing a newer pneumococcal vaccine for its ability to generate strong immune protection against shared and additional serotypes
• Assessing whether an investigational meningococcal vaccine can provide safe and effective immune responses in children, toddlers, and infants

The pediatric clinic in Hürth is contributing to research that aims to improve infection prevention in early life by comparing immune responses and safety profiles across vaccine candidates.
