Can smart patches help give the coronavirus vaccine?

The first coronavirus vaccine “smart patch” is being developed at a Welsh university, researchers say.


The disposable device uses micro-needles to both administer the vaccine and monitor its efficacy by measuring the body’s immune response. Swansea University researchers hope a prototype will be developed by March for clinical trials and aim to make it commercially available within three years.
