BERLIN: Monday's potential breakthrough in the race to develop a COVID-19 vaccine has left governments scrambling to meet the logistical challenge of distributing hundreds of millions of doses once it becomes available in coming months.

BioNTech said it was planning to price the two-shot regimen below"typical market rates" and would differentiate pricing between countries or regions. Thermal boxes would preserve the ultra-low temperatures for up to 10 days for ambient temperatures of up to 25 Celsius without opening them and up to 15 days if the boxes are opened and then re-iced, BioNTech said in presentation slides.

European logistics specialists said they were capable of meeting the challenge of ultra-cold storage.
