Needleless injections have been around for some time. However, if the company is touting them as "painless", they really need to reconsider. The Armed Services use an "air gun" device which attaches to the bottle of vaccine. The end of the gun is placed next to the shoulder and you get "shot". Problems with the system - everyone gets the same dosage (a 98 lb female and a 250 lg male get the same). While getting the shot, the gun must remain stiff against the arm, or there is a possibility of "cutting" from the air pressure. Don't think anybody in the Armed Forces thought about the contamination angle, but they knew it was a lot quicker than needles. I have received flu vaccinations using this method and the arm was sore for quite some time.
