  • Dr. Paul had earlier informed, "A nasal vaccine candidate has been identified. It has come for consideration to the drug regulator for Phase I and Phase II clinical trials."

    "It looks like an exciting development because potentially, this route can be used to deliver the safe antigen against which an immunological response would happen," Dr. Paul added.

    'One drop of vaccine in each nostril is sufficient'
  • Dr. Krishna Ella, the Chairman of Bharat Biotech, had earlier said that the company is focusing on the intranasal vaccine as existing vaccines require two-dose intramuscular injections and a country like India needs 2.6 billion syringes and needles which may add to pollution.

    "One drop of vaccine in each of the nostrils is sufficient," he had said.

    How will the intranasal vaccine work?

  • Dr. Ella said that an intranasal vaccine will not only be simple to administer but reduce the use of medical consumables such as needles, syringes, etc., significantly impacting the overall cost of a vaccination drive.
