Scientific American believes one of the reasons behind such diminished activity over time seems to be the location of the jabs. Three nasal spritzes, now in advanced trials, could trigger stronger immunity than shots in the arm, the norm. Nasal spray vaccines could trigger stronger immunity than shots in the arm as they are delivering inoculations to the site where the virus first makes contact: the nose, it’s been widely and closely watched by the scientific community.   [**Read the full article here.**](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/nose-spray-vaccines-could-quash-covid-virus-variants/) ![avatar](https://blog.acutis.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sales%20materials%202023/Brand/logo-acutis%20HD-2022-1.png?width=290&name=logo-acutis%20HD-2022-1.png) #### [Acutis](https://blog.acutis.com/author/acutis) Our team of scientific experts is here to help you understand the trends in infectious disease, clinical toxicology, and Biosciences that are happening in the world.
