Beyond the Needle

What is Beyond The Needle?

Vision

A world in which needles are no longer the default choice for vaccination or drug delivery.

Mission

Transform vaccination and other drug delivery by helping bring new technologies into market that offer alternative routes of administration so that needles and syringes are no longer the default modality, making them easier to administer, in a broader range of settings, without the need for needles, syringes, vials, and cold-chain transport. Beyond the Needle specifically aims to:

• Overcome the logistics burdens associated with manufacturing, storing, shipping and distributing needles, syringes, and other ancillary supplies, and also with cold-chain storage and transportation

• Increase immunization compliance, with pain-free, easier (possibly self-) administration and dose sparing for single-dose efficacy (vs. multiple boosters)

• Make vaccine more widely available, especially in resource-constrained settings and during a pandemic or other public health emergency where qualified healthcare professionals are in high demand and short supply

Strategy

Help bring new technologies into the market that will replace the needle and syringe as the default modality. This includes technologies that:

• Use alternative delivery routes such as oral (swallowed, buccal, sublingual), inhaled (intranasal), transdermal, and implant (subcutaneous).

• Involve simplified logistics that facilitate easier deployment and uptake, and

• Enable administration without a trained healthcare professional.
