Researchers at McMaster University in Ontario have been approved to begin human trials on two Canadian-made COVID-19 vaccines that are delivered by inhaled aerosol to target the lungs and upper airways.

TORONTO -- Researchers at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., have been approved to begin human trials on two Canadian-made COVID-19 vaccines that are delivered by inhaled aerosol to target the lungs and upper airways.

“Besides its multi-antigenic vaccine design, our vaccine strategy differs from all of the current first-generation COVID-19 vaccines in the route of delivery. Ours gets delivered into the lung via inhaled aerosol to induce respiratory mucosal immunity, known to provide best protection against respiratory pathogens,” Xing said in the release.

“The original vaccines that have been developed have really got us out of a tricky situation 12 months ago, but now I think it’s very important to take time to refine our approaches and to look at some of these new strategies where the [inhaled] vaccinations may be more effective against variants as they evolve and perhaps overall more effective at protecting against infection,” Smaill said.

“I think we want to get ourselves out of that cycle with COVID-19 by designing vaccines that allow us to finally get one step ahead of the virus and protect against variants that may not have even emerged yet,” he said.
