Intranasal immunization of ChAd-SARS-CoV-2-S can create an immune response in the nose, which is the point of entry for the virus, thereby protecting against disease, infection, and transmission.
The company had earlier announced that it would price the intranasal vaccine at Rs.325 per shot for procurement by the government, and Rs.800 per shot for private vaccination centers.
As per the vaccine manufacturer, the nasal route has excellent potential for vaccination due to the organized immune system of the nasal mucosa.
The nasal vaccine can be taken six months after the second dose.
