Common Childhood Vaccine May Aid In Coronavirus Vaccine
- 4 years ago
A vaccine to prevent coronavirus may be months or even years away.
However, a team of researchers in the US say an everyday vaccine that is available now might help.
It could aid in preventing the worst effects of coronavirus infection, reports CNN.
They're proposing booster doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
The MMR vaccine is known to protect kids against other infections beyond the three targeted viruses.
It could potentially ramp up immunity in general and perhaps prevent the most severe effects of COVID-19.
