Pulmonary vaccine delivery: a realistic approach?

Wouter F Tonnis et al. J Aerosol Med Pulm Drug Deliv. 2012 Oct.

Abstract

Pulmonary vaccine delivery has gained increasing attention during the last decade because this vaccination method combines potential advantages such as the fact that it omits the use of needles and may elicit immunity at the port of entry for many pathogens. In this review the current status of pulmonary vaccination, the potential advantages of pulmonary vaccine delivery, the hurdles to overcome in the future, and the overall perspectives of this vaccination strategy are described.
