An Israeli-American pharmaceutical company is preparing to launch a Phase I clinical trial for what could become the world’s first oral COVID-19 vaccine.
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc., a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company based on technology developed by Hadassah-University Medical Center, announced over the weekend a joint venture with India-based Premas Biotech to develop a novel oral vaccine. Together they formed the company Oravax Medical Inc. The vaccine is based on Oramed’s “POD” oral delivery technology and Premas’s vaccine technology.
Oramed’s technology can be used to orally administer a number of protein-based therapies, which would otherwise be delivered by injection. Oramed is in the midst of a Phase III clinical trial through the US Food and Drug Administration of an oral insulin capsule for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
Premas has been working on developing a vaccine against the novel coronavirus since March.
“An oral COVID-19 vaccine would eliminate several barriers to rapid, wide-scale distribution, potentially enabling people to take the vaccine themselves at home,” he told The Jerusalem Post. “While ease of administration is critical today to accelerate inoculation rates, an oral vaccine could become even more valuable in the case that a COVID-19 vaccine may be recommended annually like the standard flu shot.”

This would be ideal for vaccinating the kids.
It is incredible in some ways the advances we are seeing at this time.
And especially since they are now looking at these shots potentially needing to be done every 6 months! That’s just not tenable in the long run.
Not relevant to this discussion as this is not about the ‘shots.’
“This would be ideal for vaccinating the kids.”
Add me to the kids list as the wife and I haven’t had the needle poke yet - scheduled for it on the 9th of April.
Next they’ll have the cure in cough drops and nasal spray.
Did you bother to read the article, it sure doesn’t seem so.
My grandbaby had the oral rotavirus vaccine last week. She’s had diarrhea ever since. None of my children had a rotavirus vaccine, and none had rotavirus.
getting a live strain is better then the alternatives. Though when it’s mandated none are acceptable
I’m sure there are some who remember getting the Polio vaccine on a sugar cube. Sure beat getting jabbed with a needle.
Good observation. An old liberal trick is to take over the conversation by inserting what ‘you’ want to discuss. I am glad to see you note what Van Doorn did, either knowingly or unknowingly. That is what editor’s used to do when we had an actual media. IF someone has something to say they should post their own stories and not hijack someone else’s. Kudos for pointing this out.
Please pass that information on to your Dr. It might be useful.
I’ve taken an oral vaccine for over a year - it’s called hydroxychloroquine with zinc.
Given the key difference between vaccines and medications, the trick is to get the vaccine material to survive the digestive process and arrive whole at its targets. The “by injection” methods take the vaccine directly to the blood, bypassing the risks of getting it through the digestive system.
It will be very interesting to see how this development works out.
If they are successful, they will have a gold mine, because they will in time be able to eliminate the need for many other vaccines provided now only by injections.
Made with yeast cells instead of aborted fetal cells? This might be worth looking into.
