A university in the U.K. is trialling a vaccine that uses needle-free technology to ease the delivery of Covid-19 shots.
The injection uses a jet of air that pushes the vaccination into the skin, offering a possible alternative to people who fear needle-based shots, the University of Southampton said in a statement Tuesday. The vaccine was created by the University of Cambridge’s DIOSvax technology and could be scaled up and manufactured as a powder if the trial is successful.
