Microneedle technology for potential SARS-CoV-2 vaccine delivery.

Considering the widely acknowledged disadvantages of current vaccine delivery, such as anxiety, pain, and the requirement for professional administration, a large shift in this research sphere is imminent. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has catalyzed the development of alternate vaccination platforms, working to avoid the requirement for mass vaccination centers. As microneedle vaccine patches are transitioning through clinical study phases, research will be required to prepare this technology for a more mass production environment.
