About Zika Vaccine Research
Zika virus is a mosquito-borne illness that can cause various health problems, including birth defects in babies born to infected mothers. It is mainly spread by certain types of mosquitoes but can also be transmitted through sexual contact. Zika virus infections can lead to symptoms like fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes. In some cases, it can cause severe complications such as Guillain-Barré syndrome. Due to its potential impact on public health, there is a critical need for research focused on developing a Zika virus vaccine. By studying the virus and developing an effective vaccine, scientists aim to protect individuals at risk, prevent the spread of Zika virus, and safeguard the health of communities.
