Best case scenario, this creates super strains of whatever you are vaccinating against as everyone gets underdosed. There is no possible situation in which this could be justified.
With a flying biter like mosquitoes, they will bite many kinds of creatures so we have no idea what such a vaccine might do if introduced into the wild. This shit is too crazy to even consider.
The idea of using this to fight animal diseases is idiotic. You cannot force the mosquitos to only bite animals and not humans. Your vaccine will reach humans without their consent. And like we've seen with tons of vaccines in the past, it'll likely trigger immune reactions to a bunch of shit you didn't intend it to.

That's definitely what they'll use it for
