There is a new vaccine for women. It sounds like a vaccine given during pregnancy.

Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVAX) [Trend Analysis] stock closed at $6.41 (click here) in last session with the total traded volume of 26.28 Million. Novavax reports positive top-line data from its Phase 2 clinical trial of RSV F Vaccine, used to protect infants via maternal immunization. The purpose of the Phase 2 trial was to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the RSV F Vaccine in healthy pregnant women.Women in the vaccinated group demonstrated a geometric mean 14-fold rise in anti-F IgG, 29-fold rise in PCA, and 2-fold rise in microneutralization titers...

At a more advanced stage, patients may manifest with symptoms such as jaundice, pruritus, and/or ascites, which are secondary to the more extensive liver damage...

I am sure the Mayo Clinic could address any cutting edge pharmaceuticals.
