The end of painful vaccination jabs is on the horizon after scientists proved that a skin patch is just as effective at inoculating patients and can be applied at home in just a few minutes. 打疫苗的疼痛很快就要终结了，科学家证实，贴在皮肤上的疫苗贴就和注射疫苗一样有效，而且在家就可以用，几分钟就能搞定。 The painless plaster, which contains tiny microscopic needles, could significantly improve the annual take-up for annual vaccinations, such as the flu jab, researchers believe. 这种无痛疫苗贴内含有微针，研究人员认为，这种疫苗贴可以极大地提升每年的疫苗接种率，比如，流感疫苗。 In Britain the NHS recommends that vulnerable adults and children, the elderly, and pregnant women are vaccinated each year, but fewer than 50 percent of pregnant women and only 70 percent of older people received the jab last winter. Many people are scared of needles or do not have the time to visit a doctor or nurse. 英国国家医疗服务体系建议体弱的成人和孩子、老人、孕妇每年都接种疫苗，但去年冬天只有不到50%的孕妇和70%的老人接种了疫苗。许多人都很怕打针，或没有时间去医院。 |
