Israel is gearing up to host the first clinical trials of an oral Covid-19 vaccine
The first trial will involve 24 unvaccinated volunteers, each taking one or two pills, and will investigate the vaccine’s safety and indicators of immunity, moving on to larger Phase 3 trials to demonstrate efficacy if successful.
The vaccine should be “much more resistant to Covid-19 variants,” Kidron said, as it trains the immune system against three viral proteins instead of the single protein targeted by Pfizer and Moderna shots.developing the capsule as a booster for people who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 before, though its plans to test this are unclear . Should the trials prove a success, it could be a long while before the oral vaccine is approved in the U.S.
