“Having worked closely with the founders of Sharps Technology over the past several years, I learned about the purpose and capabilities for their specialty syringe technology. The company’s ability to provide a product that could create additional vaccine doses at no additional cost and deliver a safe injection that would protect both patients and healthcare providers, resonated with my personal reasons for working within the healthcare industry for the past 25+ years.
