Nasal spray could be more effective than current COVID vaccines | Sky News AustraliaNucleus Network Medical Director Dr Paul Griffin says the potential for the in-progress COVID nasal spray to produce more of the spike protein could prevent “people getting infected to a higher degree”. \n\nResearch is currently underway to develop a two-spray dose which, researchers hope, will replace the current range of coronavirus vaccines. \n\nHowever, Dr Griffin concedes the spray could still be “a year or two” away from public use.\n\n“It’s a little bit similar to some of the other viral-vectored vaccines but with a clever little addition that means we get a lot more of the part of the vaccine we want – the spike protein,” he told Sky News.\n\n“Ideally if it proves successful in clinical trials, it will work similarly to the other vaccines with the added benefit of actually stopping people getting infected to a higher degree, so this could be a vaccine that replaces some of the others - we could replace the jab.\n\n“It takes time to do these clinical trials so it’s probably still a year or two away if it proves successful in all of the phases of clinical trials.”
