Providing a supercooled COVID-19 vaccine is a major challenge for some countries

Getting a coronavirus vaccine at production sites in some parts of the world with rural populations and an unreliable source of electricity will be a huge challenge, given the desire to buy some vials at temperatures as low as at least 80 degrees Celsius (-112 Fahrenheit), Deutsche Post warned Tuesday, the German logistics company said the distribution of a vaccine imaginable to giant portions of Africa , South America and Asia would require ordinary measures to keep shipments of so-called mRN vaccines to Antarctic temperatures, such as Moderna and CureVac, paints cool. It’s hard to make your injections last longer in transit.

The new elegance of mNA vaccines is among the maximum complex in a domain of 33 vaccines that are being tested lately in humans worldwide, although they may want to cool them to less than 80 degrees Celsius. The more complex countries, which are home to a third of the world’s population, will pose a huge challenge, Deutsche Post said in its study, conducted with consulting firm McKinsey. The developers of Translate Bio and Moderna vaccines said in June that they were working to produce evidence in time for deployment, their respective products can also be shipped and stored at less excessive temperatures.

A Spokesperson for CureVac said her vaccine candidate was founded on an experimental rabies vaccine that has already been shown to preserve her molecular design when stored in a normal refrigerator for months. Tests are underway to show that the COVID-19 product has the same durability and the company itself is a sure that knowledge will be “competitive,” he added. The Deutsche Post said that while the bloodless vaccine chain required only minus 8 degrees Celsius in temperature, the percentage of the world’s population with reliable access to it was only more than about 70%, with really large portions of Africa most likely to be lost.

“We expect 10 billion doses of vaccines to be distributed worldwide, including regions that don’t have access to the road every five miles,” Katja Busch, advertising director of Deutsche Post’s global DHL transport unit, told Reuters Katja Busch.
