About vaccines?
What do they mean by oral dose, oral vaccine
“the development of subunit vaccines based on antigens produced in plant tissues is an expanding field of research. many immunogenic proteins have been synthesized in plants and several plant based vaccine candidates have been tested in trials to assess immunogenicity and protection. of particular interest are clinical trials in which antigens have been delivered orally in plant tissues. however higher levels of expressed antigens are necessary for oral delivery to be pratical for widespread use, especially since oral doses of antigens are likely to be much larger than dose typical for injections.”
“here we record antigen levels across a bulk preparation of defatted corn germ to assess the suitability of maize as a production system for ORAL VACCINE.”
*10 points to a good simple scientific answer, elaborate as much as possible please, and thank you in advance.

An oral vaccine is one you swallow.
An oral vaccine is taken by mouth rather than by injection. This would be a very efficient way to do a mass immunization. They could plant engineered crops and then feed them to the population.
