A vaccine patch, not a needle: rotavirus protection that goes through the skin

Micron Biomedical has won a US federal contract to advance its needle-free vaccine technology against rotavirus — an illness that causes severe diarrhoea in young children around the world — delivering the vaccine through the skin instead of by injection. Technology like this could one day mean no needles, less fear, and far easier delivery in places a long way from the nearest clinic.
