Researchers Successfully Test “Universal Vaccine” on Mice

Researchers successfully test “universal vaccine” on mice

A team at Stanford Medicine’s Pulendran Lab has developed a nasal spray vaccine that protects mice against a broad range of respiratory threats — including coronaviruses, bacteria and allergens — for at least three months, according to a Feb. 19 paper published in “Science.” The paper suggests that a vaccine formulation could one day replace multiple seasonal shots for respiratory infections — a step toward a universal vaccine. Rather than mimic…

Combination nasal spray vaccine could protect against COVID, flu and pneumonia at once

An early universal vaccine developed by Stanford researchers could potentially protect against COVID-19, influenza, pneumonia and other respiratory viruses.

Universal Vaccine Breakthrough Could Transform Disease Prevention

By SPEAKIN’ OUT NEWS Lead investigator Bali Pulendran, Ph.D., professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford, said, “That’s been the paradigm of vaccinology for the last 230 years… but this new approach targets the innate [...]

A Universal Nasal Vaccine: Stanford’s Breakthrough Could End COVID, Flu, and Pneumonia Forever

Inside labs with buzzing incubators and gently lit monitors on a peaceful section of Stanford Medicine’s campus, scientists have been testing an almost unbelievable idea: a vaccination that doesn’t target any particular virus. Rather, it teaches the lungs to remain prepared. The experimental nasal spray doesn’t act like conventional vaccines; it has only been tried on animals thus far. It doesn’t introduce a piece of flu or measles to elicit a p…

A universal vaccine is getting closer

Stanford Medicine researchers and collaborators have developed a new vaccine that protects mice from respiratory viruses, bacteria, and allergens, getting us closer to a universal vaccine. Bonus: it's a nasal spray.

Combination nasal spray vaccine could protect against COVID, flu and pneumonia at once - NEW YORK TIMES POST

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A single spritz could eventually offer simultaneous protection against several infectious diseases. Researchers at Stanford Medicine have developed a new vaccine that could prevent multiple viruses at once, including COVID-19, influenza and pneumonia. The vaccine is administered “intranasally” through a nasal spray, which provides “broad protection in the lungs for several months,” according to a Stanf…
