No experience with using the product, but I will get a shot this winter at Safeway just to see. I am an ex-Marine and believe that the Navy nurses used to scratch their needles on the sidewalk before they gave us our shots (many years ago). So the Bioject shot won't be as bad as shots that I have had in the past. All my research, plus the input of my advisers in an investment partnership that I am in, indicate that Bioject's stock will increase in the near future. I believe that we will see this increase during the first quarter of 1998.

I got a painless shot from a biojector a few years ago. It was saline solution and was given as a demo at an annual meeting. I suspect that the pain your friend felt was due to the vaccine itself. This is not an isolated instance. Both my wife and I are getting biojector flu shots tomorrow. Will tell you how it went. Marc Kahn

>>Anyone had similar experience with the Biojector?<< Funny you should mention this. Last year, my wife and I had our first experience with a Bioject product; we received our flu shots via the Biojector. Like my wife (and obviously others), I was thinking "needleless" meant "painless." NOT! I nearly jumped out of the chair when I was "injected." My wife, forewarned, took it much better than I did. This year (hoping to disprove I'm not a wimp), I looked forward to facing off against the Biojector once more, but was disappointed to find that the company giving the shots had dropped the Biojector for the traditional (needle) method (due to too many complaints about the Biojector). regards, JS
