Intradermal injection
In light of the COVID pandemic and the current emerging health emergency of mpox, intradermal injection (i.e. injection in the dermal layer of the skin) can offer a solution due to its dose-sparing potential. Studies using influenza and Hepatitis B vaccines have shown that only one fifth up to one tenth of the dose is needed to achieve a non-inferior immune response compared to the full dose administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Additionally, the widespread use of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines has accelerated mRNA vaccine technology leading to the development of future prophylactic as well as cancer vaccines.
