Can DSJI devices reduce the amount of vaccines needed for protection from disease?
DSJIs can deliver vaccines intradermally, which for some vaccines could reduce the volume of vaccine required by up to 80% and has been shown to be effective against some diseases like rabies and influenza. Additional studies are underway to better understand this method. Though this type of injection can be done with traditional needles and syringes, DSJIs may be able to deliver vaccines at the intradermal depth more simply and efficiently.
