Compositions and methods for making and using thermostable immunogenic formulations with increased compatibility of use as vaccines against one or more pathogens

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide novel compositions, methods of use and methods for single composition, multi-dose, thermostable vaccine formulations. In certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides compositions and methods for dehydrating immunogenic agents in the presence of glass-forming agents, and coating the particles formed by the glass-forming agents. In other embodiments, the present disclosure provides for generating compositions for administering an immunogenic composition to a subject multiple times using a single immunogenic composition capable of time-release administration. In other embodiments, single-dose immunogenic agent-containing particles can be directed to two or more pathogens. In other embodiments, incompatible immunogenic agents against two or more different pathogens of immunogenic agent-containing particles disclosed herein can be mixed together and coated for timed-release administration to produce single-administration formulations capable of eliciting an immune response to the two or more pathogens in a subject.
