Pills are new injection

Pills are new injection

Injections may be replaced by pills in just a few years.

For the many people who are afraid of needles and injections, this could be very welcome news.

Vaccines have been given through an injection because bile in our stomachs affects the vaccine so it doesn’t work as well. Now scientists at Cambridge and Reading universities think they have solved this problem. Coating the vaccine in sugar and a special powder protects the medicine for long enough for it to get into our systems.
