That means the \u201cantibodies that are trying to protect you from having the virus enter your body, are right there on the front lines protecting you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA traditional shot in the arm, you get what\u2019s called systemic immunity, namely antibodies build up that are essentially distributed in different organs of the body,\u201d Fauci said. That, he said, is why people who contract the virus now after being vaccinated \u2014 including Fauci himself \u2014 have far less severe symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>The nasal vaccine would work as a booster after original shots of the full vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>But the nasal vaccine won\u2019t be available until next year at the earliest. Scientists are now testing a modified version of a virus that usually infects birds to attack the virus and has already been found to generate immune responses in mice.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s still up in the air if a nasal vaccine will be successfully created. But \u201cany product that looks promising, I can assure you, the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] would be very anxious to look at it,\u201d Fauci said.<\/p>\n<p>Talk of the new nasal vaccines comes two days after White House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/covid-19\">COVID<\/a> coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha declared the new BA.5 subvariant \u201cthe most immune evasive\u201d and urged older Americans and those with compromised immune systems to take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/covid-19-vaccine\">booster shot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The vaccines and boosters that Americans took were targeted at the original strain, and while it offers protection from severe illness with other variants, Jha said that is limited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re still seeing some protection against infection but not as much,\u201d Jha <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/biden-admin-stresses-vaccines-immune-evasive-covid-variant\/story?id=86942176\">told<\/a> ABC \u201cThis Week\u201d co-anchor Martha Raddatz on Sunday. \u201cThis is that immune evasive nature of this virus. So if you got your booster let\u2019s say last November or December, you don\u2019t have as much protection against this virus as you\u2019d like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Top U.S. health officials are now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/with-omicron-variant-ba-5-spreading-white-house-urges-americans-to-get-covid-boosters\">recommending<\/a> another booster shot for most Americans, and a panel that advises the FDA is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fda-panel-recommends-new-covid-19-shots-to-target-omicron-variant\">working<\/a> on a new one that could be released this fall that would target the Omicron variant and its subvariants, including BA.5.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
