Injection using needle and syringe (N&S) is the most widely used method for vaccination, but requires trained healthcare workers. Fear of needles, risk needle-stick injury, need to reconstitute lyophilised vaccines, are also drawbacks. The Nanopatch (NP) a microarray skin patch comprised high-density array microprojections dry-coated with vaccine that being developed address these shortcomings. Here we report randomised, partly-blinded, placebo-controlled trial represents first use in humans...

The National Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination Program in Australia commenced 2007 for girls and 2013 boys, using the quadrivalent HPV [4vHPV] vaccine. In Australia, students are primarily vaccinated en masse, on school grounds, after parental/guardian consent is obtained. Students most often receive little, or no, education at about vaccination prior to immunisation. There also some uncertainty where young people can should obtain reliable information vaccine, outside of school. We...

However, this method is not ideal due to limitations, such as the risk of needle-stick injury, requirement for trained personnel give injections need reconstitute lyophilized vaccines. Therefore, we tested an alternative delivery technology that overcomes problems The Nanopatch™ array 10,000 silicon micro-projections per cm2 can be dry-coated vaccine skin delivery. high number density means velocity...
