I got like 9 or 11 injections in one 30-sec army jabfest in 91. I still don’t like needles, but I’ll roll up my arm or drop trou for something beneficial with no complaint. The alternative is always worse.
That would be awesome, I think that would be about as benign as injection, taking it through mucous membrane bypasses the digestive system, which is generally way more problematic.
And seems to me it ought to be extra effective if the immune reaction is centered near the usual source of the infection. Unless you have a bad reaction to the vaccine of course
Animal studies show it is way more effective. You want to activate and train the immune cells that will first be exposed to the virus. Traditional needle base vaccines help deal with the virus once it’s already in your body. Great for managing the infection and ensuring it’s scope is limited.
A nasal vaccine could stop people from being infected at all. Which is what they saw in animal studies so far.
I mean individual wise I think you just don’t get it and maybe mental health in general. TLDR - just get over it or go find some therapy and bingo bango boom. done. Society wise having resources would at least make it more possible for people who try. Honestly though its likely cheaper and easier to just have a nasal spray option but its holistically better for the individual to just not have phobias or really any mental health problems.
Just give me a nasal vaccine please

But important to know that the nasal vaccine (for flu) uses live virus, making it unsuitable for anyone with an immune deficiency.
Imagine if your annual vaccination was a simple nose spray.
That doesn’t sound much different than a traditional vaccine, unless you can self administer it
its massive for needlephobes.
Probably get more return on resources investing in therapy to address phobias, in that case.
you mean society or the individual?
Both

People take Annual Vaccines ?
Some of us really hate spraying stuff up our noses. I’ll keep my injection, thanks.
There’s been a nasal flu vaccine for a while but it’s not as effective as the intramuscular ones.
