If the smallpox vaccine was given out today...?

I was reading about smallpox vaccine, on this site. http://dermatology.about.com/cs/smallpox...

And they describe the two-pronged needle, injecting several times, and leave a scar.... If the smallpox vaccine was ever given out in the future, they would not need to use this devise to inject you would they? They could use a standard needle like all other shots?

(Yeah I'm terrified of shots)

no its still done the same way

I had the smallpox vaccine. It was routine back than in Europe. It was not a regular needle, however, I was just a baby so I don't remember being in pain at all.

I believe only one needle would be fine, remember shots werent comin when these vaccinations started. they were not familiar with our medical practices of today.

Before I could start school, it was mandatory to have the smallpox shot.. They used one needle and pricked you several time and injected the serum. they don't go deep, so it didn't really hurt. Now I am not sure, but I have heard they have one that has 5 small needles and it is done all together. Just turn you head the other way and it will be over with..

When I was a kid I was vaccinated for smallpox, while I don't remember how bad the shot itself felt, what came after was horrible. My arm was so tender I coudn't move it.
The injection site became infected and left a huge scar(quarter size).
Some people have especially bad reactions to this vaccine, like myself.

hopefully in the future you wont neeed shots they are experimenting with a needle patch that has tiny micro needeles on the outside that would administer any vaccination or other (intravascular at least nothing intramuscular has worked) possible reason for injection pain free. the science is still new and production on it if it were to start wouldnt be for along while bt its still exicting
