There are several nasal vaccines in development around the world. I don't know which ones are available in which countries, though. As you've noticed, people inhale the virus first, so developing neutralizing immunity in those first cells would be extremely useful. :) I intend for my next vaccine to be Novavax (typical jab in the arm) because it includes the second SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which has shown reduced mutation rate, so its protection should work better against any future SARS-CoV-2 variants. The perfect combination would be Novavax as a nasal vaccine, but I haven't heard of any such thing yet.

Thanks for that. I haven't had a booster for over a year, I had the 3 way cocktail before that (Az-Moderna-BioNTech). You don't get anything here now unless you ask, only over 60s get reminded/ requested a booster. Even flu jabs not routine for under 70s.
