India has done a respectable job getting the COVID numbers down and keeping them down so far (~18k cases today) despite life having largely returned to "normal". Does that complicate the trials since it's a little harder to catch covid than other places?
> nasal Covid-19 vaccine could be a reality in India soon with Bharat Biotech, the Indian vaccine maker, all set to start phase 1 and 2 trials of a nasal vaccine at Gillurkar Multi Speciality Hospital in Nagpur<p>I thing “soon” is still quite a ways, off at least many months for the general public. They are just starting Phase 1 and 2 trials. You also need a Phase 3 trial after that before it can be approved for the general public.
> Research has proven that the nasal vaccine is the best choice. Coronavirus also attacks through the nose<p>> injecting the vaccine intramuscularly only protects the lower lung. A nasal vaccine can protect both the upper and lower lung and can prevent transmission of the virus as well as an infection<p>I'm not a biologist, but that just sounds strange.
