Chinese regulators approve the vaccine, produced by Chinese pharmaceutical firm CanSino Biologics, for use as a booster. It is inhaled via the mouth from a vessel that looks like a take-out coffee cup with a short mouthpiece.

SHANGHAI, China – In what is believed to be a world first, China’s commercial capital of Shanghai this week introduced a new type of COVID-19 vaccine that is inhaled rather than administered via injection.

“Our body’s first line of defense is the mucus membrane of our respiratory system, we want that to be directly stimulated to improve immunity and using the inhaled vaccine does that,” Dr Zhao Hui, chief medical officer at Shanghai United Family Hospital Pudong, told Reuters.

Shanghai, which reported no new domestically transmitted symptomatic coronavirus cases for October 27 and 11 local asymptomatic cases, is still subject to targeted lockdowns impacting residential buildings and businesses in the city.
