US Researchers Develop 'Super' Vaccine Protecting Against Viruses, Bacteria, Allergies

Researchers in the US are developing a new, universal vaccine in the form of a nasal spray, which aims to protect simultaneously against viruses, bacteria, and allergies. The vaccine, which is in an experimental stage and has only been tested on mice, works by activating both the adaptive and innate immune systems. This new approach, unlike traditional vaccines, aims to provide broader protection against multiple pathogens and allergens. In experiments with mice, the vaccine showed protection against SARS-CoV-2, other coronaviruses, bacteria, and allergens. However, further testing in humans is needed to confirm its safety and efficacy.
