Description
A groundbreaking innovative technology with the potential to significantly increase global immunization coverage is the Vaccine-containing MicroArray Patch (VMAP), an intradermal delivery technology for vaccinations. VMAPS provide an alternative to intramuscular and subcutaneous immunization methods and have the potential to increase acceptability by caregivers and recipients while making vaccines more easy to administer. VMAPS do not require the use of needles and can improve safety during administration, reduce the need for cold chains, enable easier storage and transport and remove the risks of needle waste.
