Iomai get FDA okay for Flu vaccine patch
The FDA has given the okay to Iomai to test their flu vaccine in a patch based delivery system. They will compare it against the standard flu shot.
United Press International - Health Business - FDA OK’s trial of Iomai’s flu vaccine patch:
I find this an interesting delivery system for vaccines and this could be a major step forward. THeir are some people I know who don’t get the flu shot each year mainly because they have a fear of needles. I do know though that getting any sort of medicine across the skin barrier is difficult and one of the primary reason there aren’t more drugs delivered by patches.
