“A # of the leading #Covid19 #vaccines under development will need to be kept at temperatures as low as minus 80 degrees Celsius (minus 112 degrees Fahrenheit) from the moment they are bottled to the time they are ready to be injected into patients’ arms.” nytimes.com/2020/09/18/bus…
“Companies may have to transport tiny glass vials thousands of miles while keeping them as cold as the South Pole in the depths of winter.” nytimes.com/2020/09/18/bus… #Coronavirus #Vaccine #ColdChain #CoolChain #CoolCargo #SupplyChain #SupplyChains #Logistics en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_chain
“That will not be easy. Vaccines may be manufactured on one continent & shipped to another. They will go from logistics hub to logistics hub before ending up at the hospitals & other facilities that will administer them.” nytimes.com/2020/09/18/bus… #ColdChain en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_chain
“hodgepodge of co.s are scrambling to figure out how to keep hundreds of millions of doses of a vaccine very, very cold. Planes, trucks & warehouses will need to be outfitted w freezers. Glass vials will need to withstand icy climes. Someone will need to make a lot more dry ice.”
“A vaccine requiring stringent temperature controls would be off limits for much of the developing world..[Report:] cold vaccine [could] be accessible to ~2.5B people in 25 countries. Large parts of Africa, SAmerica &Asia, where super-cold freezers are sparse, would be left out.”
