As of now, there is no vaccine specifically for SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), which is caused by the SARS-CoV virus.

However, the knowledge gained from SARS research has contributed to the development of vaccines for related coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.
