Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55

Working on my end-of-year analysis for public health and came across this shocking statistic: The percent of Ameircans vaccinated for the flu has dropped from 67% in 2019 (pre-COVID) to 38% today. Influenza has been a leading cause of death in America almost every year since at least 1980.
