At the moment the method of most vaccinations is with
a
medium gauge needle, a nurse who has no idea where
the
human vascular system puts its main channels and a cold
jar of some attenuated virus in a sterile solution, from a
special fridge.
UBCo Medical have come up with a stapler that
covers
off
the multiple steps in a simple process.
The vaccine is loaded into the shank of a hollow wire
staple with a reservoir bulge in the middle.
Patient is weighed, then dosage calculated.
Appropriate dosage strip/s is/are removed from fridge.
Appropriate dosage strip/s is/are loaded into stapler.
(Dosages of multiple medication may be ganged
together, as required)
Nurse / orderly swabs injection site to disinfect and
locally
anaesthetise.
Nurse / orderly presses stapler to skin, firmly.
Stapler handle is depressed, two hollow fangs are
punched
into the patient's skin.
The hammer of the stapler presses the reservoir empty,
into patient.
Empty, deformed staple is extracted and pushed into a
disposable sharps container.
Repeat as required, until dosage is complete.
Check stapler is empty, disinfect.
Next patient, please!

Possibly, but then you have to start a rat breeding
program, to feed them. That means sterile,
genetically modified rats. Then you have to set up a
sterile, genetically modified food breeding program
for the rats... |

It's a bigger project than The Island of Dr Moreau. |

I try to avoid getting bitten by snakes. There's a
primal fear of them in most people's hypothalamus, I
think. |

// genetically modify snakes to do this // |

[bigsleep], this is amazing idea. I always wanted to experience what it is like to be bitten by a snake. I would really love to try such a vaccinating snake... |

Separate post for vaccinating snakes please. |
