causing symptoms that require hospitalization<\/a>. Health experts also say that people will be more willing to get vaccines if they come in pill form or nasal sprays. They are \u201cless-intimidating,\u201d according to a survey of U.S. adults. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Will The New Pills Or Nasal Sprays Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The three injectable vaccines work to prompt an immune response that combats coronavirus spike proteins. According to ImmunityBio, a company working on a next generation COVID-19 vaccine, their capsule vaccine targets mutation-prone outer spike proteins and more stable inner proteins. This works to activate T cells, antibodies, and memory B cells against the coronavirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altimmune is another company working on a next generation COVID-19 vaccine. This would be a nasal spray, which would spawn an immune response at the point where the virus enters the body. The goal is to cause mucosal immunity in the nasal cavity. The nasal spray would also stimulate T-cell and antibody responses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roughly seven out of 10 Americans prefer a pill to a needle injection. This is why so many companies are racing to develop next generation COVID-19 vaccines. They want to help achieve herd immunity and prevent serious future outbreaks that require mass hospitalization. Ultimately, though, research is still preliminary and more clinical studies are necessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
