it is difficult to produce a vaccine for the common cold because it is a viral genome that reproduces very slowly. true or false

Answer 1

False. The challenge in creating a vaccine for the common cold primarily stems from the fact that the common cold is caused by numerous different viruses, particularly rhinoviruses, as well as coronaviruses and others. These viruses have many different strains and mutate frequently, making it difficult to create a single effective vaccine. Additionally, the immune response to the cold viruses is often not long-lasting, further complicating vaccine development. The slow reproduction of the viral genome is not the main reason for the challenges in vaccine development.
