Abstract
Microneedle systems can open ample possibilities for the development of new generation vaccines and even revolutionize the practice of vaccination [1]. Ease of administration, improved immune protection, antigen dose sparing, and independence of cold-chain distribution are among the many potential benefits that the technology can introduce in the field [2]. Due to the same advantages, microneedle-based vaccines, and intradermal vaccination in general can also open new prospects for the development of low cost vaccines for the developing countries [3, 4].
