Flu jab could become less scary

By: Newstalk ZB staff | Latest Health News | Friday June 1 2012 17:29

 

Getting that flu jab could soon be a whole lot less scary, thanks to New Zealand researchers.

Manukau Institute of Technology researchers have engineered a device that replaces the hypodermic needle with a tiny, high-pressure jet.

The device can be programmed to deliver a range of doses to various depths.
