A
Scientific Win!
An
experimental vaccine, sprayed into the nose, protects monkeys
against the SARS virus, and could be developed to immunize humans.
The
vaccine was developed by scientists, at the USA’s National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
Dr.
Brian Murphy, a co-chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Infectious
Diseases said, “This study shows that delivering the vaccine
directly to the respiratory tract can effectively protect primates
from SARS. … With more research, we hope to develop a vaccine
based on this approach, that could be used to rapidly immunize
first responders and other medical personnel, helping them control
a potential outbreak.”
