The Nanopatch uses only a hundredth of the vaccine dose delivered by syringes.it will mainly be used in the developing world. Prof.Kendall said that with the help of his creation ,the cost of vaccine that currently costs $10 can be brought down to just 10 cents.                                                                                                        The patch substitutes the single point of an injection thousands of tiny projections perforating the skin.currently avialable vaccines are liquid and must be kept refrigerated when in storage. In contrast, the new patch can be kept at 23*celsiusfor a year.The noval patch has been succesfully tested to administer flu vaccines at Queensland University,Australia.Advanced tests are currently underway in Papua New Guinea to help tackle the human papilloma virus which causes cervical cancer.
