Dynamism in medical research Several organisations and research institutions have already taken advantage of the opportunity and launched various projects. In the medical world, the Vaud-based biotech company Mymeticsis currentlydeveloping a unique vaccine in collaboration with the University Hospital of Bern. The team is conducting research to create a prophylactic nasal vaccine. Most of the Covid-19 vaccines currently under development or being deployed in vaccination campaigns are administered by intramuscular injection to induce immune defense responses in the blood. According to the scientific teams, however, there is no or only very limited protection in the nasal area, although this is the main point of entry and replication site for the virus. This vaccine will induce immune protection not only in the blood but will also elicit immune defense protection in the nasal and pulmonary mucous membranes and therefore aims to prevent transmission of the virus and infection at a very early stage before it spreads to other organs. Other teams are aiming to improve vaccine efficacy and long-term immunity.
