THERMALLY STABLE VACCINE FORMULATIONS AND MICRONEEDLES

摘要

Formulations and methods are provided for stabilizing antigens in dry solid vaccines. One aspect relates to dry solid formulations of influenza vaccines including one or more excipients identified as imparting stability to influenza antigens. Another aspect relates to dry solid formulations of measles vaccines including one or more excipients identified as imparting stability to a measles antigen. The formulations may be in a form suitable for reconstitution in a physiologically acceptable liquid vehicle to form an injectable solution or suspension for administration to a patient or in the form of dissolvable microneedles or coated microneedles.
