In the first human trial of the patch, involving 100 people, the patch was found to be just as effective as generating immunity for 12 months, and was preferred by the vast majority of those taking part.
这种疫苗贴的首次人体试验涵盖了100个人,结果发现疫苗贴也可以有效地保持免疫效果长达一年,而且参加试验的绝大多数人都更喜欢这种接种方式。
Researchers say the patch is cheaper and could be mailed out so that people could vaccinate themselves in the comfort of their own homes. They are also developing patches for the measles, rubella and polio vaccine.
研究人员表示,疫苗贴更便宜,而且可以寄给人们,让他们在舒适的家中自行接种。研究人员还正在研制麻疹、风疹和小儿麻痹症的疫苗贴。
“Traditionally, if you get an influenza vaccine you need to visit a health care professional who will administer the vaccine using a hypodermic needle,” said Dr Mark Prausnitz, Georgia Tech Regents professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering.
佐治亚理工学院董事化学和生物分子工程学教授马克•普劳斯尼茨博士说:“传统上,如果你要接种流感疫苗,你需要去找专业医疗人员,他们会用注射器针头给你注射疫苗。”
“The vaccine is stored in the refrigerator, and the used needle must be disposed of in a safe manner. With the microneedle patch, you could pick it up at the store and take it home, put it on your skin for a few minutes, peel it off and dispose of it safely, because the microneedles have dissolved away.
