Importance of the cold chain to defeat COVID-19

Despite these technological innovations, vaccines are still wasted today because of temperature control and related logistics.

The distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines will pose the greatest challenges of all. The major one being safe refrigeration: most vaccines need to be maintained at 2 to 8°C, while the Ebola vaccine requires cold storage temperatures down to -80°C.

The problem is that many health centers in low- and middle-income countries don’t have adequate vaccine cold-chain systems.

While the world is waiting for a vaccine, it is high time to think ahead and join forces in arming the most vulnerable countries with the reliable cold chain equipment they will need to bring the pandemic under control.
