Depending on what vaccine you’re transporting, and where you’re transporting it to and from, cold chain requirements can change dramatically. Ensuring you have a solution in place that ensures the efficacy of your vaccine payload, and is flexible to the demands of various vaccine temperature requirements is crucial to operating a cost-effective, and secure vaccine cold chain.
By now you’ll be acutely aware that the various COVID-19 vaccines coming onto the market require different temperature control to ensure efficacy. For example, the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines require -70°C, -20°C, and 2 – 8°C storage respectively. Not only do they have different temperature requirements, but they survive for different periods of time outside of those temperature ranges before losing efficacy.
Depending on what continent you’re on, and what vaccines you’re shipping, the logistics supporting your COVID-19 vaccine roll out can get complicated. MEVAC® Vacuum Insulation Panel for universal temperature-controlled packaging solutions that can be used multiple times, and across all of the required COVID-19 vaccine temperature ranges maintaining temperature stability for a minimum of 96 hours.
