Scientists are cracking enough of the genetic code of the common rhinovirus that a vaccine, or other cure or quasi-cure, may be getting closer.
The many mutations of the virus were clustered into about 15 groups, allowing research to proceed easier from there.
The findings would probably lead to something similar to flu vaccines. Something not 100 percent effective, but, say 65-75 percent effective, needing renewal on an annual basis, with scientists keeping up with the evolution of new strains of the virus from year to year.
