EBV

Why don't we have a vaccine for EBV by now, it would save millions of others from going through this pain

  1. Hi that is a great question. I know that this has been challenging because the virus goes into the body for life and is associated with several cancers and autoimmune conditions. Clinical trials are actively underway. For the latest information, you can check out the National Institute of Health: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-launches-clinical-trial-epstein-barr-virus-vaccine.

  2. Closest one I found was four years ago plenty of time to have answers about one virus

  3. That's a really good question and one I don't have a great answer for, . I think your question brings up a very valid point about finding cures and/or vaccinations for viruses like EBV.

    Best, Erin, Team Member.

  4. Maybe they will get there one day
