“A phase 1 randomized clinical trial of a novel Nipah virus vaccine is leading to hope that there could soon be a way to prevent infection.

The study found that the shots were safe and generated an immune response, according to a study published Dec. 13 in The Lancet.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social
Early trial of Nipah virus vaccine shows promise
The study findings represent a "milestone" in efforts to prevent a deadly infection, experts say.
