The first-ever clinical trial on an injection-free microarray vaccine for children has just concluded. And those involved say it was “successful” at vaccinating kids as young as nine for both measles and rubella, using a small “patch” rather than a needle.

With funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta-based Micron Biomedical tested the new vaccine patch technology on children in Gambia. The microneedle patch, which looks like a Band-Aid, was applied to the kids’ bodies by simply pressing it onto the skin, penetrating the upper layer of their skin.
