Microarray patches safe and effective for vaccinating children, trial shows
A Phase I/II randomized trial compared results from the measles and rubella vaccine delivered by a microarray patch, a small sticking plaster-like device with an array of microscopic projections that painlessly penetrate the skin and deliver the vaccine,
Microarray Patches Safe and Effective for Vaccinating Children, Study Finds
The first study of the use of microarray patches to vaccinate children has shown that the method is safe and induces strong immune responses.
Painless Skin Patch Could Deliver Vaccines to Kids
Kids who don’t like vaccination shots might soon have an alternative in a painless skin patch, researchers say. More than 90% of 190 Gambian infants were protected from measles and all were protected from rubella after receiving a single vaccine dose through the patch,
Plaster-like vaccine patches may one day replace measles and rubella jabs, research shows
The pain-free alternative is easier to transport and store than traditional vaccines because they do not require refrigeration
Vaccine patches could replace jabs for children after ‘safe and effective’ trial
It is hoped 'sticking plaster' devices could be answer to declining uptake of injections for diseases like measles and rubella
Vaccine plasters could spell the end for childhood jabs
Childhood vaccines could soon be given painlessly in the form of plasters delivered in the post instead of jabs at the GP.
Microarray patches safe and effective for vaccinating children, trial suggests
The first study of the use of microarray patches to vaccinate children has shown that the method is safe and induces strong immune responses. The phase 1/2 randomized trial compared results from the measles and rubella vaccine delivered by a microarray patch,
The end of childhood jabs? Vaccines can be given through 'plasters' which painlessly penetrate the skin
A landmark trial in The Gambia found the patches - which painlessly penetrate the skin - were just as effective as injections against measles and rubella.
