Intradermal fractional dose delivery also lowers the total cost of vaccination substantially.

Key Points:

Intradermal fractional dose delivery also lowers the total cost of vaccination substantially.
Intradermal delivery with needle and syringe is difficult for mass vaccination campaigns as it requires significant training to master, resulting in inconsistent results.
It requires minimal training, and virtually eliminates vaccine wastage, making it an excellent tool for mass vaccination campaigns and routine use.
It is ideal for delivery of intradermal polio vaccinations given its consistency and the improved immune response of 2 fractional ID doses versus 1 full intramuscular dose.
