Perceived safety, usability, and acceptability of microarray patches for vaccination among key populations: A mixed methods study
Microarray patches (MAPs) MAPs are viewed by the general public and HCPs as safe, user-friendly, and well-received as alternatives to needle and syringe vaccination for greater acceptability among consumers. MAPS may also improve access to vaccination in priority populations and areas with limited resources.
