Will Oral Vaccines be Part of the Future?

Vaccines have been a routine task for many throughout life to prevent and protect against a wide range of conditions. It’s no surprise that the global COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 also shifted the view of vaccines for many. Since then, vaccines and booster vaccines for COVID-19 has been increasingly developed and studied. However, further research is needed on booster vaccines specifically to truly understand the efficacy and efficiency of these boosters, particularly oral vaccines.

A New Take on Vaccines:

Chances are when you think of vaccines, you think of an injection. However, researchers and pharmaceutical companies are beginning to consider alternative oral options. Our COVID booster study sponsored by Vaxart Biosciences INC., aims to investigate the effectiveness of this new vaccine on the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

Why Consider a Vaccine Study:

Your participation in any research study helps the medical field work toward advancing science and medicine in hopes to provide additional resources and treatment options to the broader community. Without this type of research, the robust amount of advanced medical technology, treatment options, and more that we have available today, wouldn’t be possible. As always, before taking part in a research study, talk with your medical team to determine if a clinical trial is right for you.

In addition, COVID-19 vaccination comes with an added layer of protection against the COVID-19 virus. According to Mayo Clinic, “A COVID-19 vaccine can: Help prevent serious illness due to COVID-19, help prevent you from needing to go to the hospital, and help prevent death (Mayo Clinic, 2024). In addition, getting a booster vaccine, is important in helping ensure you are not only protected but stay protected as initial vaccine protection can decline over time (CDC, n.d).
