Chinese Official Touts Effectiveness of Inhaled COVID-19 Vaccine

China has not yet approved any inhaled vaccine against the coronavirus.

SHANGHAI — An experimental inhaled COVID-19 vaccine could provide stronger protection than injectable shots, even with a lower dosage, a provincial health official said during a biopharma conference Tuesday.

Zhu Fengcai, the deputy head of the Center for Disease Control in the eastern Jiangsu province, explained how inhaled vaccines work directly at the virus’ point of entry, giving them the advantage of inducing an immune response at the mucosal surfaces of the nose and mouth, where the coronavirus is most likely to invade the body.

“It’s like drinking a coke,” Zhu said, speaking at the International Biopharma Industry Week in Shanghai, showing an illustration of a person covering their mouth with a plastic cup. “But instead of a liquid, you take in gas. It’s that easy.”

While discussions on nasal sprays and inhaled vaccines for use against COVID-19 have gained momentum, such methods have yet to take off globally. Though China hasn’t approved the inhaled vaccine, it has green-lighted the injection version of the shot developed by domestic vaccine maker CanSino Biologics — dubbed Ad5-nCOV — for emergency use.

Two small-scale human studies of the inhaled vaccine in China have shown promising results, with one study published in the British medical journal, The Lancet. Some 300 adults who took the inhaled vaccine, which had a fifth of the dosage contained in the injection version, induced a similar immune response.

However, the effectiveness of CanSino’s inhaled vaccine in preventing COVID-19 remains unclear, as it has yet to be tested in large-scale phase III trials.

“Vaccines alone can’t stop the spread of (COVID-19),” Zhu said, referring specifically to the outbreak that started from the city of Nanjing and spread to several places over the summer. “The most important use of the vaccine is to prevent severe disease and death. We still need to wear face masks and practice social distancing.”

well here institute Razi also work an a three dose vaccine that use two injection of their recombinant protein subunit vaccine in 3 week and then after 1 month an intranasal spray of the same vaccine . they claim after the third dose you are not only immune but also you can't be a carrier anymore, i wonder why they don't use the same strategy in other vaccines after all that intranasal spray can trigger IgA while the injection won't do that

Spray is not good. FluMist is a joke. Altimmune's trial failed. Those who say spray works are liars and fraudsters.

FluMist

Well on other hand polio vaccine was a total success and it was a not an injection

 

[Hack-Hook]

Oh and flumist when first came was an effective solution then in later years it's efficacy reduced but again in recent years it shows it become a lot more effective.

Are you seriously comparing covid to polio? Covid is a kind of cold. Antibodies only last 3 to 6 months. Polio antibodies last decades.

FluMist is not effective. The only reason it's back is because little kids don't like needles.

Say why the drop or spray can't work

Because it's crappy. Injected vax has far stronger effect.

Well looking at Sabin and Salk vaccine tell something else

 

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

Polio antibodies last 60 years. Flu / covid antibodies last 6 months

 

[Hack-Hook]

Polio antibodies last 60 years. Flu / covid antibodies last 6 months

what the point of your argument . i say Salk is better than Sabin . i don't argue which vaccine last how long , I say the oral route for that vaccine is better than injecting route . it all depend on the vaccine and how it enter body.
