The first nasal vaccine for COVID-19 has been approved in China.

Chinese company CanSino Biologics Inc said on Sunday that its inhaled version had been approved by the country's drug regulator for emergency use as a booster.

The vaccine, called Convidecia Air, uses the same adenovirus vector technology as its injectable version. This enables a no-drill option that could convince more people to get vaccinated as new versions of COVID-19 continue to spread.

The vaccine "can effectively induce a comprehensive immune defense in response to SARS-CoV-2 after just one breath," CanSino said in a statement.

CanSino's initial shot was 66 percent effective in preventing infection.
