Vaccine microencapsulation for single dose delayed release delivery. (360G-Wellcome-109744_Z_15_Z)
Dr Anita Milicic at Oxford University has recently received Pathfinder Award funding to study alternative delivery methods for multiple-dose vaccines. The project aims to develop a new technology for vaccine delivery that would allow multiple (prime-boost) immunisations to be combined into a single-dose vaccine while retaining full efficacy. The boost dose(s) would be encapsulated into polymer microcapsules, for a delayed delivery at predetermined time intervals within the body, and administered together with the priming vaccine thus mimicking the conventional prime-boost immunisation. This innovative technology could allow patients to achieve protection from a disease after just a single dose thus minimising sub-optimal vaccine coverage of the population.
