BANGKOK, Aug 11 — Two coronavirus vaccines administered using a nasal spray being developed in Thailand are due to start human trials by the end of this year, after promising results in trials involving mice, a government official said today.
After conducting trials in mice, the first phase of human trials should start by the end of this year, pending approval from the food and drug regulator, she said. Research has been going on in countries around the world to develop nasal sprays to help prevent and treat Covid-19, particularly given that the lining of the nose has been identified as a key entry point for the virus.
Thailand’s vaccination campaign has so far relied on China’s Sinovac, AstraZeneca and Sinopharm shots. Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines are being given as a third booster shot for frontline medical workers who had received two doses of Sinovac.
