Art of Sharing COVID Vaccine

More than 788 million vaccine doses have been given worldwide, equal to 10 doses for every 100 people.

83% of shots have been administered in developed countries, while low-income countries account only for 0.2 percent of the total doses. With this pace and bias in distribution, it would take 17-24 months to vaccinate 75% of the entire population.

What if we can develop a method to deliver vaccines through Nasal Chamber? This would have the ability to induce a special type of immunity called mucosal immunity.

Antibodies raised by the standard intramuscular injection are sufficient for the flu because it replicates in the lower respiratory tract. SARS-CoV-2 virus and other variants replicate in the upper respiratory tract and nasal cavity, hence an intranasal vaccine is more effective at stimulating the body’s mucosal immunity response.

Imagine an Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network of Intranasal COVID-19 Vaccine installed in public spaces, which can regulate the vaccine flow based on the crowd density & can share real-time data worldwide. This can increase the vaccination rate up to many folds.

What are your thoughts about this concept?
