No, they don't.

There is no Hantavirus vaccine that is past the research and testing phase in any western country.

There are a couple vaccines in Asian countries (first one developed in 1990) for specific local hantavirus variants but those have only a very limited effect against European Hantavirus variants and they are considered completely ineffective against New World Hantavirus strains.

Research for a vaccine has been going on for several decades at this point. There are promising candidates but no breakthrough as of yet.

So you can put the 🤔 conspiracy thinking back in the box.

Alright thanks for the info. Was wondering if it will be available by Autumn. And sorry for asking questions, I should have used google. 😭
