Also, last week’s digest had an error: The country that approved the malaria vaccine was Ghana. Vaccines (basically little fat bubbles filled with mRNA and some dissolvable polymers) were physically printed onto microneedle patches using a robot. The patches have little spikes that help push the vaccines through the skin.
