Use 'tattoos' to get vaccinated instead of vaccination

The painful vaccination is about to become obsolete thanks to the introduction of a new vaccine method: the 'tattoo' vaccine does not hurt.

Researchers claim that the use of tiny needle-covered patches of hundreds may be a way to make new generation vaccines safer and less painful. This method can even be used to transplant DNA vaccines for high-risk diseases such as HIV.

When the patch contains a micro needle that is attached to the skin, it immediately sticks the vaccine coating into the body, like creating a tattoo.

Because microscopic needles are designed to pierce only 0.5milimets of skin, break down the skin's surface layers, avoid damaging nerve endings and blood cells should be used without pain and safety. Current common hypodermic needles.

According to Darrell Irvine, Massachusetts Institute of Biotechnology and Materials Science professor (MIT), this type of immunization will also eliminate the need for vaccination with syringes. He explained: ' You only need to stick the patch for a few minutes, take it out and all it will leave is thin plastic films on the skin'.

As we know, current vaccines help the human body develop immunity to active diseases by allowing the immune system to come into contact with potential pathogens.

Scientists are currently developing DNA vaccines to transplant genes from diseases that infect humans. The cells of the vaccinated people then produce molecules from potential intruders, which function as a wanted signal, helping the immune system to recognize hazards far more effectively than with conventional vaccines.

However, researchers have struggled to find an effective way to inject DNA, in addition to using needles and current current.

Tests on monkeys showed that the new 'tattoo' type of vaccine helped solve this challenge. Each micro-metallic patch is composed of several layers of polymer containing DNA vaccine. When applying patches to the skin, the polymer films will be implanted under the skin thanks to the micro-needle piercing through the skin, not too deep but enough to put the pathogen's DNA into the epidermal immune cells. Once under the skin, these membranes decompose when exposed to water, release the vaccine within a few days or weeks.
