Summary

This research improves combination vaccines by addressing antigen competition using injectable hydrogels that slowly release antigens. This approach produces balanced immune responses to multiple diseases, unlike traditional vaccines. The innovation could reduce the number of shots required, improve global vaccine access, and ensure more effective immunization, particularly in underserved populations.
