Vyteris (OTCBB: VYHN):

WHAT: Produced video news release releasing new survey results estimating the number of Americans who suffer from "blenophobia," the fear of needles and the healthcare impacts resulting from it. Some of those impacts include the reluctant and outright refusal of patients to receive vaccinations or get blood draws for diagnostic tests and treatment.

WHO: The video will feature patients, Rosa Rodriguez and Anne Marie Tenebruso, suffering from blenophobia and Dr. Mark Durstzman, M.D., an internist affiliated with New York Presbyterian Hospital.

WHEN: Thursday, December 14, 2006 Time: 10:00 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. EST Satellite: Telestar 6 C-band, Transponder 11 (aka IA6C11) Downlink Frequency: IA6C11 (3920 Vertical@93 Degree West) Audio: 6.2/6.8
