Hepatitis B virus (HBV) affects 350 Million people in the world. The vaccination used now takes 2-3 injections. Why go through all that effort if theres the possibility of vaccination in just one bite of the genetically engineered banana.
The vaccines job is to expose your immune system to a very small part of the disease that is dead or weak so it does not make you sick, so your antibodies can fight this and grow an immunity to it.
This diagrams shows the formation of a potato vaccine but the same process is used for the banana vaccine.
This genetically engineered vaccine is still going through trialing and testing but is predicted to be cheaper and faster working than the normal injection.
