FDA Approves First Covid-19 Vaccine

MMR vaccines are sterilizing, i.e. you take them once and done. No lifetime booster subscription.

Current Covid vaccines are non-sterilizing. They do not provide immunity that is equivalent to the MMR vaccine.

A future (nasal) Covid vaccine may offer long-term mucosal and blood/serum immunity.

Why isn't the nasal vaccine being produced?
