The Tattoo Vaccine? Interesting! |
The Tattoo Vaccine, By Dr. Rob for MSN Health & Fitness
Q: I’m a big fan of tattoo art and recently heard that tattoos might be a better way to deliver vaccinations than traditional injections. Is there any truth to that idea?
A: According to a study reported in the journal Genetic Vaccines and Therapy, tattooing procedures were used to deliver experimental DNA vaccines and resulted in a stronger antibody response than three doses of traditional injections into the muscle. But don't drive over to your local tattoo parlor just yet, because that study involved mice. More research is needed to determine whether the same tattooing technique would trigger a strong antibody response in humans. If all goes well and it proves to be an effective and safe vaccine, this may be one tattoo you don’t regret!
