Nasal vaccine is a vaccine administered through the nose that stimulates an immune response without an injection. A vaccine dose is given via nose, rather than orally or through the arm. While several versions of a nasal vaccine are in development, most are in preclinical stages. A nasal vaccine is touted to have the ability to end the cycle of transmission, stop infection, and stop lung damage, including other adverse effects as the dose is administered through the nose, where the virus first enters the body. Thus, market players are focusing on developing safe/effective nasal vaccines.
Market Dynamics:
The rising burden of respiratory diseases or infections, outbreak of COVID-19, increasing focus on the development of safe and effective vaccines, increasing demand for safe and effective vaccines, and increasing research and development activities are the major factors expected to propel the growth of the global nasal vaccines market over the forecast period.
For instance, in January 2023, Bharat Biotech, an Indian-based global biopharmaceutical company announced the launch of India’s first intra-nasal COVID-19 vaccine, iNCOVACC for a primary as well as heterologous (mix-and-match) booster dose in India. It was the first nasal COVID-19 vaccine that was approved both as a primary two-dose regimen, and a heterologous booster after two doses of Covishield or Covaxin. It is approved by the Drugs Control General of India (DCGI) as a heterologous booster dose. The new iNCOVACC vaccine can potentially revolutionize the battle against COVID-19 infection.
