You've heard of mRNA, now make way for the new improved DNA Vax!

This sounds promising from a manufacturing perspective.

And it's Needleless - press up against the skin to administer. We need more vaccines like this that can be locally manufactured and administered.

ZyCoV-D, which is administered into the skin without an injection, has been found to be 67% protective against symptomatic COVID-19 in clinical trials, and will probably start to be administered in India this month. Although the efficacy is not particularly high compared to that of many other COVID-19 vaccines, the fact that it is a DNA vaccine is significant, say researchers.
