In this type of setting, simplicity of operation and efficiency of delivery of the vaccine to and the effectiveness in large numbers of patients, are primary goals. Candidate products that reduce the time to establish immunity, increase vaccine stability and/or reduce logistical requirements are important secondary objectives and would further enhance the capabilities of a candidate product that is easily delivered. Delivery technologies that propose delivery routes other than the traditional intramuscular or subcutaneous routes will be considered. Anticipated benefits should include decreased manpower and time required to prepare and administer the vaccine, maximum compliance, and production of a protective immune response with 1-2 doses of vaccine. </td> </tr> </table>
