Since regular jabs or intransal option are not enough for mRNA delivery, scientists at Stanford University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) have produced a 3D printed vaccine microneedle patch which they claim provides greater protection than a typical vaccine shot.

It is reported The microneedle patch delivered an immune response 10 times greater than a vaccine delivered into an arm muscle via a needle jab. Is is claimed The microneedle patch also has other advantages, including easy and painless delivery, and the potential to be self-administered.
