Protecting children from dangerous viruses with oral vaccines

Orally administered vaccine can protect millions from hepatitis B. Oral vaccines are both safer and less expensive than injections. Therefore, researchers are continuously pursuing ways to produce an oral vaccine that is sufficiently effective. Now, University of Copenhagen physicists have delivered virologists a “recipe” for improving vaccine drops using methods from the world of nanophysics.
