Coronavirus vaccines will be inhaled Good news for those who are afraid of injections. Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have developed sprayable coronavirus vaccines that can simply be inhaled through the nose..

Vaccinations in the form of painful injections may become a thing of the past thanks to the invention of American scientists. They have already tested vaccines in lab mice that can be inhaled through the nose.. The rodents received two doses of the so-called airgel, with the help of which they developed more antibodies in their lungs than in the control group, which was given a placebo.. Antibodies also arose in the nose and throat.

The authors of the study hope that this directed reaction in the form of antibodies will help neutralize the coronavirus in the places through which it actually enters the body.. As you know, it is an airborne pathogen that we inhale through the nose or through the mouth..

Scientists hope this technology, which can also be used against influenza, will help prevent infections.

And all because the airgel enters directly into the lungs, which distinguishes it from the current coronavirus vaccines, which are less effective in preventing direct initial infection.. Study suggests 10% of people who still haven't been vaccinated didn't do so because of fear of injections. Psychiatry calls this disorder trypanophobia..
