A member asked:
Are people immune to the hantavirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hantavirus: Per the CDC- “There are no known re-infections with the homologous hantavirus; virus neutralizing antibodies are formed. Closely related hantaviruses, such as Seoul &Hantaan viruses, seem to cross-protect against re-infection in experimental animals” It may be possible for immunity to develop after infection.
