SYDNEY: Scientists from the University of Queensland (UQ) successfully developed a method that can deliver vaccines using a pain-free "patch" without needles. It also neutralizes multiple variants, including the variants first detected in Britain and South Africa, said Muller. "We've shown this vaccine, when dry-coated on a patch, is stable for at least 30 days at 25 degrees Celsius and one week at 40 degrees. He said beyond vaccinations for coronavirus, the patch technology could also be applied to vaccines for polio, dengue fever and influenza. "So, basically, the patch is a platform technology, which you can pair with the vaccine you want to work on," Muller told Xinhua.
