TRIALS OF AN INTRANASAL COVID VACCINE LOOK PROMISING

 

If you’re putting off getting your Covid-19 vaccine because you hate needles, then a new nasal mist might be for you.

Early trials of an intranasal vaccine from Meissa Vaccines indicate that unvaccinated patients, who are given a couple of drops of the vaccine in each nostril, have average mucosal antibody levels slightly higher than those measured in people with natural immunity to the virus.
