Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a system of biological drugs or vaccines that are sucked like candy. It will be enough to put a small sheet on his tongue and let it melt to heal.
An innovation that should delight those who hate bites, biological drugs or vaccines that are sucked like candy.
No more needles, syringes and injections. It will be enough to put a small sheet on his tongue and let it melt to heal. This is possible thanks to a whole new way of packaging vaccines developed by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin.
This will please the cozy who will no longer be bitten. But it is a technique which has many other advantages since it could even change everything because the vaccines will also be cheaper to manufacture. And above all, their active principle will be better preserved.
You know that we must keep vaccines in the fridge, otherwise they quickly lose their effectiveness. With this technique, the vaccine can remain on a shelf for three years at room temperature, without losing its effectiveness.
It's already used on vaccines.
It will start in the coming months. But the method has already been tested on flu and Ebola vaccines. We can immediately imagine the interest for great vaccination companions. There will no longer be all these tonnes of waste (syringes, vials, needles). And since there is no longer a need for a fridge, this will greatly simplify distribution in remote areas.
As we recall, the main challenge of this kind of campaign is to get the vaccine distributed to as many people as possible. We will also have the same problem when we find a vaccine against the coronavirus: it will have to be rapidly disseminated throughout the world. With this method, we may have an ideal packaging. And tomorrow, perhaps the majority of the vaccines will be sold in the form of small candy leaves.
