SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSDERMAL VACCINE DELIVERY

摘要

A system and method for trandermally delivering a vaccine to a patient including an iontophoresis delivery device having a donor electrode, a Count er electrode, and electric circuitry for supplying iontophoresis energy to the electrodes, and a non-electroactive microprojection member having a pluralit y of stratum corneum-piercing microprojections extending therefrom. The vaccin e can be contained in a hydrogel formulation in an agent reservoir disposed proximate the donor electrode, in a biocompatible coating that is disposed o n the microprojections or in both.
