Inject the vaccine with a patch

In fact, use high paste to bring medicine into the body that has been used by the medical industry, such as a patch for smoking cessation. However, this is the first time scientists develop high-paste types containing flu vaccines that can penetrate the skin through dozens of tiny needles.

When a high-quality patch looks like a personal tape to the skin, tiny needles gently penetrate the skin, then dissolve and release the vaccine into the body. Experiment with a vaccine that does not contain vaccine and has a surface like sandpaper, most volunteers say they do not feel pain.

The new method helps solve two problems at the same time, it is psychological fear of injecting drugs and the situation of indiscriminate disposal of used needles. On the other hand, it also allows people to vaccinate at home without learning how to use it. According to the Georgia Institute of Technology, the new product will help encourage people to actively get the flu vaccine as recommended by the health agency.

Now this patch has been successfully tested on mice and researchers are looking for sponsors to conduct human trials. If all goes well, the product will be available in the market in the next 5 years.
