A greater vaccine dose may be necessary for upper respiratory tract protection than for lower respiratory tract protection. Suboptimal vaccine dose levels resulted in NSs losing protection but not enhanced viral replication as compared to the sham controls. Although additional mechanisms may possibly lead to worsened disease, suboptimal vaccination dose levels resulted in viral breakthroughs but did not result in increased viral replication or pathology in the lungs of vaccinated animals as compared to sham controls.

Intranasal challenge with SARS-CoV-2 virus protected the immunised hamsters (either a single-dose or a prime/boost vaccination regimen). Two doses of vaccine elicited more potent neutralising antibody response and reduced peak and total virus shedding by a greater level. Low levels of detectable virus was observed in the nasal turbinate tissue while lungs were completely clear from virus. After two doses, MF59-vaccinated hamsters showed an apparent reduction in viral load in the lungs and nasal turbinate tissues. In an animal model, neutralised antibody level is correlated with reduced virus shedding.

In mice and nonhuman primates, intramuscular vaccination with ARCoV mRNA-LNP generated significant neutralising antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 as well as a Th1-biased cellular response. In mice, two doses of ARCoV immunisation provided full protection against a SARS-CoV-2 mouse-adapted strain. Immunized mice were fully protected against SARS-CoV-2 infection with no detectable viral RNA in the lungs or trachea, whereas high levels of viral RNA was observed in the lungs and trachea of placebo-treated mice. A single dosage of ARCoV immunisation resulted in an anamnestic antibody response, however two doses of ARCoV immunisation did not result in an increase in neutralising antibody titers upon challenge, suggesting that sterilising immunity was produced in mice.

Rhesus macaques were immunised with the BBIBP-CorV vaccine at low dose (2ug/dose) and high dose (8ug/dose). exposure to SARS-CoV-2 virus protected the immunised rhesus macaques.
