Friends, the good news continues. Imagine, scientists from Stanford University and the University of North Carolina 3D printed a vaccination patch, which, according to their data, is more effective than an injection. Moreover, according to animal studies, the immune response from this method is much stronger than when the vaccine is injected intramuscularly with a needle

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports that this patch is based on microneedles on a polymer substrate. According to a study, the resulting immune response from the vaccine patch was 10 times stronger than when administered intramuscularly

❗️ β€œWith this development, we hope to lay the foundation for a faster development of the vaccine industry. They can be used in low doses, without pain, unnecessary anxiety, and they can be used on their own "- pleased us Joseph M. DeSimone, professor of translational medicine and chemical engineering. And it makes me happy. The patch looks more attractive than the injection. But I can feel itπŸ˜‰
