CVR - Coronavirus Vaccines R&D Roadmap

Milestone
2.6.d

Mucosal vaccines

In progress
High priority

Determine one or more CoPs for mucosal vaccines against coronavirus infection, disease, and transmission.

Progress Highlights

NIAID Project Nextgen aims to determine mucosal CoPs. 

Gagne 2024 found that mucosal IgA responses to a mucosally administered bivalent adenovirus-vectored SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in NHPs correlated with protection in the upper airways, while both mucosal IgG and IgA, along with T-cell responses, were key for protection in the lungs.
