India has begun nasal vaccinations

The nasal vaccine can be administered as a heterologous booster dose by people who have already received Covishield and Covaxin.

The government of New Delhi today approved the addition of an adult booster dose of the intranasal Covid vaccine to the vaccination program. The inclusion occurs as the number of cases in China and some other nations is on the rise.
