“…4 ). In addition to this mechanistic advantage, MAPs offer advantages in terms of practicality and convenience (simple and painless application and the potential for self-application), logistics (thermostable and no need for reconstitution for certain MAPs), safety (no biohazardous sharp waste generation for certain MAPs, avoiding the potential risk of disease transmission), and cost (inexpensive to manufacture and distribute or dose-sparing), which, combined with consistent skin-targeted delivery and immunogenicity benefits, render MAPs attractive for global vaccination programs [ [42] , [43] , [44] , [213] , [214] , [215] ]. Due to these advantages, there has been great interest in the development of several types of MAPs, and in functional testing of MAPs for numerous vaccine candidates [ [207] , [208] , [209] ].…”
