Sentence is a bit ambigous. Are the nasa vaccines likely to give sterilizing immunity or the opposite?

[astrange]

They're more likely to work, because they go in the places (your nose) that need to be sterilized. But it's only theoretical.

That doesn't make much sense; vaccines aren't topical treatments for current infections but systemic preparation against future infections.

[astrange]

There's special antibodies for the nose and other membranes. The immune system is incredibly complicated.
