VACCINE SPRAY GUN.—Improved ways of administering health-protecting vaccines have been developed in the United States. This jet spray gun replaces the needle used to prick skin for smallpox vaccinations. The boy here is simultaneously receiving a gamma globulin injection against any possible reaction to the vaccine. Besides minimising discomfort to patients, jet spray guns speed up inoculations—from 100 an hour by each doctor to about 1500 an hour—thus permitting faster protection for large population groups.
