Abstract

The methamphetamine epidemic continues to worsen each year and has contributed to more overdose deaths than opioids. Methamphetamine was listed in the top ten lethal drugs in 2021 in the United States. The drug has been shown to cause many health problems. One solution to this crisis is through vaccinations. Although still early in the development phase, vaccinations have been found to improve withdrawal symptoms and decrease drug seeking behavior with minimal health side effects compared to medications.
