A skin patch that can deliver vaccines cheaply and effectively has been shown off at the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh.
Using a patch rather than a needle could transform disease prevention around the world, said its inventor.
Prof Mark Kendall said the new method offered hope of usable vaccines for diseases such as malaria.
Other medical experts welcomed the news, but warned it might be unsuitable for some patients.
