Evaluation of the thermal stability and the protective efficacy of spray-dried HPV vaccine, Gardasil® 9.High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types are responsible for nearly all cases of cervical cancers.  Here, we used spray drying along with stabilizing excipients to formulate a thermostable Gardasil® 9 vaccine.  This study is critical, as a thermostable vaccine will decrease vaccine cost associated with cold-chain maintenance and could increase vaccine access and coverage, especially in remote regions of the world.
