Some clinics would prefer to save costs by using household freezers and refrigerators to store drugs and medications. In fact, impro...

Working Against COVID-19 Vaccine Challenges
The COVID-19 pandemic presents new challenges for the global cold chain. The first few COVID-19 vaccines are using newly-developed mRNA technology that requires it to be kept at sub-zero temperatures during shipments. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has been extremely specific in that regard, requiring a chilly -70°C for long-term storage, while Moderna's must be kept at -20°C .
It is these requirements which pose an incredible challenge to provide an unbroken global cold chain – from point of manufacture to the last mile – the patients themselves.
The Last Mile Challenge To I...
