I would also add that there’s a cohort of the population who vaccines may not work on (hi, immunocompromised). Their protection relies on everyone around them getting vaccines to prevent the disease exposure in the first place.

Actions have consequences, and as we live in an interconnected society, sometimes your actions have consequences for others. Being an adult partially means taking responsibility and owning your part in the system.

You’re right. Can’t just post them to folks and expect 100% uptake. It might widen the possibilities of more people getting more vaccines, though. In my books, this can only be a good thing.

I agree! Auto injectors aren’t cheap compared to ye olde trusty ampule and syringe, and this might push the costs towards the higher end again. I can see a kids-and-the-latex-allergic edge case scenario.

Can’t wait to see what develops 😄
