A vaccine that melts under the tongue? | Claire Monge (CNRS)
At the end of 2020, France launched its Covid-19 vaccination campaign. As new variants emerged, vaccination strategies had to evolve to try to respond to a major health crisis. Claire Monge, a CNRS biologist, focuses her work on the development of vaccines administered via mucosal injection. The key to this new approach would be to prioritize vaccination in the form of a patch that dissolves under the tongue, rather than by injection.
