The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has developed an effective flu vaccine. This vaccine is administered by the nose in the form of a spray and in the tests carried out with the mouse has given slightly higher results than usual.

For the vaccine, influenza virus proteins have been introduced into positively charged fatty spheres. According to researchers, the spray is more effective because the flu virus stops at the entrance door of the body. Also, by not having to take injection, it is more comfortable for the patient.
