Ultrasound can push vaccines into the body without needles
Ultrasound can push vaccines into the body without needles
Vaccinations could be made less painful by treating skin with a vaccine-laden liquid and using ultrasound to push it into the body
Vaccines can be delivered through the skin using ultrasound. This method doesn’t damage the skin and eliminates the need for painful needles. To create a needle-free vaccine, Darcy Dunn-Lawless at the University of Oxford and his colleagues mixed vaccine molecules with tiny, cup-shaped proteins. They then applied liquid mixture to the skin of mice and exposed it to ultrasound – like that used for sonograms – for about a minute and a half.

The mRNA shots are very sensitive. I'm not allowed to shake them prior to administration, only swirl gently. I feel like this tech will damage them no?
Im sure they’d have to develop something that would be compatible. It’s in the early stages, but it looks like a cool idea even if it isn’t practical for every application.
