Invisible “tech tattoos” to identify and record people with and without vaccinations – facts

Researchers from the University of Massachusetts have a possible solution to the problem, which allows during the vaccination process to embed special tattoo markers (ink) into the human body, which will store information about the vaccination being carried out, its features and the time of the procedure..

In other words, scientists have managed to find a way for a more convenient way to keep records of vaccinations and their characteristics, without the use of paper or electronic media, which will make it more convenient to keep records and records of vaccinations on a large scale..

The developers argue that this method of keeping a patient’s vaccination history will be extremely convenient and practically irreplaceable for those regions where there is no electronic accounting system or paper archives with information about vaccinations have been lost..

It is worth noting that the development initiative in this area was originally sponsored by the Melissa and Bill Gates Foundation, which directly dealt with the problems of polio and measles..

A similar medical tattoo-inoculation is delivered under the patient’s skin right during the vaccination procedure, together with the inoculation substance using special needles made of polymer and sugar that can independently dissolve in the body..

The labeling system itself is today just a proof of concept, however, studies in rats have shown that traces of the pigment (marker) can be found in the body nine months after injection. And in human skin models, marker patterns could be detected even after five years of sun exposure..
