In India, a total of 7 cases of hMPV have been found since Monday. The Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a common respiratory virus that primarily affects young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. While it’s not a new virus—it was first identified in 2001—it has recently gained attention due to a slight increase in cases. Many people are curious about whether a vaccine exists for hMPV and how they can protect themselves and their loved ones from infection.
Is there a vaccine for hMPV?
