The FDA requires that all new vaccines first be tested in laboratory settings and on animals, [2] and must then carry out a series of increasingly stringent tests in human subjects. [3] Once vaccines are introduced to the market, the FDA regularly inspects their production facilities, tests their quality, and receives reports of adverse reactions.
The peptides can be specially designed for specificity. A single peptide vaccine can be designed to have multiple epitopes to generate immune responses for several diseases. The vaccines only contain a short peptide chain, so they are less like to lead to allergic or auto-immune responses. Disadvantages: Poor immunogenicity. Unstable in cells.
