Yes, that is a very exciting question!

We only know that the natural VIP in the blood only survives for a short time and that the synthetic VIP avoids exactly this problem and thus a meaningful treatment is possible at all. But this only applies to the IV version and there it is all about healing and not about prevention/protection.

The inhaler version works directly in the lungs. I don't know if VIP can be detected in the blood at all when using the inhaler version.

Dr. Javitt explained in his first Dr. Yo video that they do not even know the optimal dose of the inhaler version and that they have to find out first. (As far as I can remember, in the studies they want to start with 5x daily doses of about 5 minutes each)
However, this applies to Covid patients who are presumably already ill (mild).

If this dose is sufficient to cure patients who are already ill, the preventive use will probably be far below that. But whether this will be once a day for 5 minutes or once a week for 5 minutes, they probably do not know themselves yet.

Fortunately, it has almost no side effects (much less with the inhaled version), so that one could safely risk a certain "overdose" for preventive purposes. (Especially for risk patients, not necessarily for every healthy person).
