Next-generation vaccination platforms will take at least 10 years. However, with the recent outbreaks of Ebola and Zika, it became clear that the process must be accelerated to completely stop an epidemic.

For this year, innovators will update the entire vaccine infrastructure to support the rapid development of new vaccines, as well as to open up new mechanisms to deliver new and existing vaccines to large populations. Companies are finding faster ways to develop flu vaccines using tobacco plants, insects and nanoparticles.

At the point of attention, innovators prefer to develop methods other than injections. Oral, edible and mucosally administered vaccines, intranasal vaccines and vaccine chips are being developed and are all in development. It is expected that in 2018 a patch the size of a Band-Aid bandage will be released for the flu vaccine.

These new ways of developing, sending, storing and vaccinating are rapidly connecting to avoid epidemics and current and future diseases.
