Vaccination is not without risk. Sometimes, but rarely, people have bad reactions to vaccines.

The ethical case for vaccinating against rhinoviruses isn't really there, even if it were viable to do so.




There is a good reason to develop at least one rhinovirus vaccine, though: so we have the expertise to deal with a bad rhinovirus strain if one should arise later. The coronavirus experience - SARS, MERS, and now COVID-19 - seems to suggest that such groundwork on common virus types would be a good idea.
