Article Synopsis
- Needle-free vaccine delivery systems, like the Med-Jet® H4, improve vaccine compliance and reduce risk associated with traditional needle use.
- A study involving 80 patients compared the Med-Jet's effectiveness to that of needle injections, focusing on patient attitudes, safety, and immune response.
- Despite slightly longer administration time and some local reactions, the Med-Jet showed equivalent immunogenicity to needle injections, making it a viable alternative for seasonal influenza vaccination.
