'Patch' vaccines

Very interesting Particularly:

"It seems that we may have been missing the immune sweet spot which may be in the skin rather than the muscle which is where traditional needles go...

Researchers noticed that the immune responses for vaccines administered with the nanopatch were completely different to those given by a syringe...

The amount of vaccine needed to be effective is much lower, up to one hundredth of the traditional dose."

It's something which people who are considered 'anti-vax' on MN have been talking about for years and are frequently ridiculed for - how current vaccines bypass the skin which plays a huge role in immune response. Nice to know that the scientists agree! :)
