The present invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent system for vaccination, and also relates to the technical field of medical information processing and the technical field of communication, and is specifically to an intelligent vaccine nebulization system and a method of use thereof.
A large number of studies of vaccines show that: for infectious diseases that infect body through respiratory mucosa, partial vaccination is more effective and safer than peripheral vaccination. Partial vaccination, such as inhaled aerosol COVID-19 vaccine, has fought the defense against virus at mucosal membrane, and could avoid blood-borne infections caused by bacteria contamination upon the opening of injection needles.
The inhaled aerosol COVID-19 vaccine is effective because it could activate mucosal immunity of body. Mucosal immunity is related to globulin A (IgA) and this immunoglobulin could be obtained from breast milk at birth and begins to produce automatically as grown up with its distribution in breast milk, saliva and mucosal secretions on gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract and genito-urinary tract, which is the first line of defense to prevent the invasion of pathogens.
The inhaled aerosol COVID-19 vaccine could activate the production of IgA: the inhaled vaccine transports the antigen to the nasopharyngeal associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) and presents the antigen to the cell (APC), and then presents it to T cells, which can then activate IgA+B cell development. After antigen-specific CD4+ cells and IgA+B cells migrate to the upper respiratory tract through the thoracic duct and blood circulation, IgA+B cells differentiate into IgA+plasma cells under the action of the cytokines secreted by CD4+ cells to produce IgA dimers. It then binds to the polymerized Ig receptors existing on the epithelial mucosal cells to become secreted IgA, which is finally released to the upper respiratory tract surface to play a protective role.
At the Pujiang Innovation Forum on Jun. 3, 2021, Chen Wei, a researcher of the Academy of Military Sciences, who is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, stated that an adenovirus vector inhaled aerosol COVID-19 vaccine developed by her team is applying for emergency use. This means that in the future, the COVID-19 vaccine could be vaccinated in a non-injection manner by only inhaling the atomized vaccine and holding breath for a few seconds.
Compared with the injection vaccine, the advantages of inhaled aerosol COVID-19 vaccine are obvious, which includes:
However, the standard process of the inhaled aerosol COVID-19 vaccine requires a nurse to accurately take out an appropriate amount of vaccine from vaccine container by a pipette and drop it into the nebulizer, and then the nurse or vaccinator activates the nebulizer. the process requires obviously a lot of manual participation and control, which is low in efficiency and long in vaccination period, and further causing the turnover rate of the nebulizer is far from satisfaction and the possibility of error is high. It could not fulfill the needs of large-scale, short-term and high-efficiency vaccination, such as the inhaled aerosol COVID-19 vaccine.
