   Star Trek style injections in the works!

   The story is a bit muddied as the new delivery is developed for a new vaccine as well, and the story talks about both.

      Interesting. Decades ago, there was talk about using compressed fluids to deposit vaccines underneath the skin. As I recall it, the project started after an oil worker got a boil lanced and the contents turned out to be crude oil. It turned out that highly pressurized oil, together with a pin-hole in a pipe, results in a narrow line of fast-moving liquid that can penetrate the skin.
      
      I guess the older researchers couldn't control it enough to deliver precise doses to the proper depth.

         I would be pretty sure that the newer ones would be better than the old ones.

      @GeniusMusing Yeah, you can see there under en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_inje… that there are some technical hurdles and health risks, especially in a mass vaccination setting as opposed to e.g. injecting yourself with insulin, which apparently people have been doing since the 80s.
      
      But most people inject their insulin with needles still, so there are probably additional issues that aren't clearly listed in the article.
