In terms of pricing, Oxford/AstraZeneca have said they will sell their vaccine at cost (USD 4 - USD 5), while Moderna has said its vaccine will be charged at USD 32 - USD 37. Pfizer’s vaccine is expected to cost USD 20 –USD 40. Pakistan in touch with Oxford AstraZeneca.
In terms of storage, Pfizer’s vaccine is the most troublesome as it requires refrigeration at -70 degrees Celsius during shipment and storage, and has to be
mixed with another liquid before administration.
Moderna vaccine can be stored
in household refrigerators for up to 30 days, and at room temperature for up to 12
hours. It also does not require dilution before administering it.
Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is needed to be sent to vaccination centres in
refrigerated vehicles and stored in a purpose-built vaccine refrigerator between 2
degrees Celsius and 8 degrees Celsius.
