That would be awesome, I think that would be about as benign as injection, taking it through mucous membrane bypasses the digestive system, which is generally way more problematic.
And seems to me it ought to be extra effective if the immune reaction is centered near the usual source of the infection. Unless you have a bad reaction to the vaccine of course
Animal studies show it is way more effective. You want to activate and train the immune cells that will first be exposed to the virus. Traditional needle base vaccines help deal with the virus once it’s already in your body. Great for managing the infection and ensuring it’s scope is limited.
A nasal vaccine could stop people from being infected at all. Which is what they saw in animal studies so far.
