The Korean researchers say that the new flu vaccines now do
not need any needles.This new vaccine may simply be placed under tongue.They
further add that new vaccine worked avoiding pain and the discomfort that
some people from the inhaled vaccine.
In tuesday's online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences,the team leader Dr. Mi-Na Kweon of the International Vaccine
Institute reported their findings in
Seoul
Now, Kweon and colleagues say, two doses of influenza
vaccine under the tongue of mice primed the animals' immune system to fight off
what would otherwise have been a deadly dose of flu.Placing a couple of drops of
liquid under the tongue gets the vaccine directly to mucus membranes and prompts
a response both in mucus tissues throughout the body as well as in the immune
system itself, the researchers said.
Kweon has reported that The under-the -tongue vaccine worked
on both whether it was a live or inactivated virus.She further added,it could
also be given a flavored form to make it more acceptable by general people.
So,guys who are afraid vaccine needle's prick just relax and
don't worry for the vaccines otherwise if you are suffering from flu.
