BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 26 (UPI) -- No more arm pricks and colorful bandages for kids getting their measles vaccination. A new vaccine for the virus is making headway in early clinical trials -- and it comes in powder form, taken not through injection but inhalation.
"Delivering vaccines in the conventional way, with needle injections, poses some serious challenges, especially in resource-poor parts of the world," Robert Sievers, a professor in the University of Colorado Boulder's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, explained in recent press release.
