Vaccines save lives.

“… the promise of nasal vaccines is that they could induce mucosal immunity along with a systemic immune response.”
Will nasal vaccines consign injections to history?
Nasal vaccines could offer protection against airborne pathogens at their point of entry into the body.

A nasal spray with nanotech that crosses the blood-brain barrier after stroke that can be used at home or on the way to the ER to minimize damage. Wow.

China seems to have a lot of nice things.

You'd think we could, too.

A study showing nasal sprays can prevent COVID has been retracted.

Personally I see nasal sprays as an additional layer, but I would not rely on them for prevention. Wear a well fitted respirator & add in a nasal spray if accessible (or saline nasal rinses).

Don’t rely on nasal sprays alone
