Our skin – an overlooked optimal site for skin drug delivery and vaccination
Skin drug delivery or intradermal injection (i.e. injection in the dermal layer of the skin) offers great benefits for both prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines. Why? The skin is our first line of defense offering a dense network of immune cells. Indeed, for prophylactic vaccines there is a clear dose-sparing potential as only 1/10th of the dose is needed compared to intramuscular and subcutaneous administration. Also, the rich immune network offers beneficial benefits for therapeutic drug delivery, including cell therapy and cancer immunotherapy.
