Adjuvanted subunit intranasal vaccine reduces SARS-CoV-2 onward transmission in hamsters by Yongjun Sui, Swagata Kar, Bhavna Chawla, Tanya Hoang, YuanKai Yu, Shannon M. Wallace, Hanne Andersen, Jay A. Berzofsky

“…Notably, in this head-to-head comparison of COVID-19 booster vaccines on SARS-CoV-2 onward transmission, we found that statistically significant viral reduction in the lung tissues and oral swabs was observed only in the intranasal S1 nanoparticle vaccine-boosted group, but not in the systemic mRNA vaccine-boosted group, suggesting the superior protection of this intranasal vaccine, which could act as an attractive vaccine booster candidate to complement the current licensed systemic vaccines.DiscussionOverall, our study strongly supports the use of the intranasal vaccine as a boost to protect not only the vaccinated person, but also people exposed to the vaccinated person, a key public health goal.…”
