High-profile COVID-19 vaccines developed in Russia and China share a potential shortcoming: They are based on a common cold virus that many people have been exposed to, potentially limiting their effectiveness, some experts say.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause respiratory infections ranging from common cold to more severe diseases. Some common symptoms may include fever, tiredness, runny nose, sore throat, dry cough, aches, pains and diarrhea.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
