    Nasal vaccines will be usefull because they can head off infection before it gets into your blood stream, so spread would definately be reduced. The current vaccines target the virus once in the bloodstream. Future vaccines may be able to get around the imprinting problem. It's being worked on anyway. Best bet is to not get infected at all, but the "urgency of normal" is making that nearly impossible.

      That seems like it would be much better for preventing long COVID too, if it stops infection before reaching one's blood stream, or in theory anyways.

        Covid getting into the bloodstream is what's causing so much organ damage, since it can attack pretty much every part of the body at that point. If we can head it off at the mucus membraines we would be much better off.
