"A single dose of an experimental COVID-19 vaccine delivered into the nose of rhesus macaques protected their lungs and nasal region from SARS-CoV-2 infection, a new study from National Institutes of Health scientists and colleagues shows. The vaccine, known in its pre-clinical formulation as ChAd-SARS-CoV-2-S, is undergoing clinical trials in India under the name BBV154."

"In order to be effective, a coronavirus vaccine must provide protection at the site where the virus enters the body, namely the respiratory tract. Neutralizing antibodies present in the blood only contribute partially to protection. The lentiviral vector is now emerging as a promising vaccine candidate for intranasal administration to induce mucosal immunity with an almost sterilizing effect in two highly sensitive preclinical animal models."
