U..S researchers have stated that in the near future, vaccine patches may replace the painful injections and increase the immunization effectiveness against many diseases. The Patch works when hundreds of microscopic needles attached to the patch stick the human skin. Experiments on mice have shown that this process provides better immune than to the previous procedure.

An article in the “Nature Medicine”, states that one this procedure would replace the conventional injection. The patch developers from the Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology have stated that these patches have 100’s of micro needle, that attach to the outer layer of the human skin, and the moment of contact, these needles start to dissolve.

During tests, researchers have used it against influenza and has found to be effective against the sickness. So one day it would become very convenient for people to use it by themselves against any disease personally.
