Could the Covid vaccine be taken as a pill?
Researchers are looking at ways the Covid-19 vaccine could become a pill or inhaler instead of an injection.
In the hope of fighting against the coronavirus pandemic, a team in Sweden are hoping to create a new, powdered version of the vaccine which can be taken at home instead.
ISR's founder, Ola Winquist, a professor of immunology at the Karolinska Institute has said, "The game-changer is that you could distribute the [powder] vaccine extremely easily without the cold chain, and it can be administered without the need for healthcare providers".
