Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pathogens can enter the body through mucosal surfaces. Oral vaccines can create immune responses that protect these surfaces. Oral vaccines are ideal for mass administration programs because they are inexpensive to produce and easy to administer. Trivalent and bivalent oral polio vaccines successfully eradicated wild poliovirus type 2 in 2015 and type 3 in 2019. Wild poliovirus type 2 was declared eradicated in September 2015; type 3 was declared eradicated in October 2019. However, vaccines have not stopped the spread of wild poliovirus in all countries except for Afghanistan and Pakistan. These findings emphasize the need to focus on oral vaccination programs. We invite researchers to contribute papers to this Special Issue, “Advances in Oral Vaccine Development”. We welcome all original research articles, reviews, or short communications.
