The vaccine is delivered intranasally — such as through a nasal spray — and provides broad protection in the lungs for several months.

Hopefully this would be enough for anti-vaxxers to consider using this.

There is definitely a swath of anti-vaxxers who are just afraid of needles. That group should be converted by this, but they should also work on their branding.

Sounds very promising, but I wonder if there are any risks to keeping the innate immune system on high alert for longer periods of time?

I would be so happy to stop my daily Zyrtec and Nasacort!
