Dr Hoang Hirschberg, employed at RIVM, has carried out PhD research into three alternatives to for needle injections. She concluded that all alternatives have advantages and limitations. Not one single delivery method will be generally applicable but depending on vaccine antigen, target population and market. Thanks to the numerous new technologies and extensive knowledge in this field Hirschberg is expecting that, in the future, more alternatives to needle injections will become available.
