Pfizer/BioNTech’s vaccine, along with Moderna Inc’s two-dose vaccine, won the U.S. emergency use authorization and is being widely distributed as part of the country’s mass vaccination efforts.If approved, the less onerous storage requirements would provide a big logistical relief because the vaccine, for now, has to be stored at minus 70 degrees Celsius for longer periods, a challenge particularly in lower-income countries that don’t have the ultra-cold-storage infrastructure.
Pfizer/BioNTech’s current label requires the vaccine to be stored in an ultra-cold freezer at temperatures between -80ºC and -60ºC , calling for it to be shipped in specially designed containers.
