This opens up the possibility that, in the future, vaccines could be administered in a simple, safe, and practical way without requiring the use of needles and syringes. This review focuses on the methods developed to deliver vaccines via the intact skin," a scientist in France reports.

"Candidate vaccine antigens can be delivered topically using particulate delivery systems and patch formulations containing the antigen with an ADP-ribosylating exotoxin as an adjuvant," reported Charalambos D. Partidos at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
