Routes of vaccine administration?

Vaccines can be administered through various routes, including:

1. Intramuscular (IM) injection: The vaccine is injected into a muscle, usually the deltoid muscle in the upper arm or the thigh muscle.

2. Subcutaneous (SC) injection: The vaccine is injected into the fatty tissue just beneath the skin, usually in the upper arm or abdomen.

3. Intradermal (ID) injection: The vaccine is injected into the top layers of the skin, usually on the forearm.

4. Oral: The vaccine is taken by mouth, usually in the form of a liquid or tablet.

5. Intranasal: The vaccine is sprayed into the nostrils.

6. Intravenous (IV) injection: The vaccine is injected directly into a vein.

7. Intradermal (ID) injection: The vaccine is injected into the dermis layer of the skin.

8. Sublingual: The vaccine is placed under the tongue to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

The route of administration for a vaccine is determined by factors such as the type of vaccine, the age of the individual receiving the vaccine, and the desired immune response.
