A. This is a machine that
looks like a gun connected by
tubes to a foot pedal. To
vaccinate a patient, the
nozzle of the gun is pressed
firmly against the skin.
Stepping on the pedal builds
up air pressure which is
released when the trigger is
pulled. The jet of air makes a
tiny hole in the skin and
carries the vaccine into the
body. It feels like a shot, but
may not be as traumatic
since there is no needle.

vaccine?
A. -Children under 18 years
