As above, storing and transporting stuff at -70°C isn't that difficult. You can literally just pack it in an insulated box with dry ice - which is naturally at -78°C when it 'fogs' - and move it with a pallet truck. Once you've got where you're going a -70°C freezer isn't a huge hurdle either. Dry ice isn't particularly dangerous, you can buy it online.Horse wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 8:30 amOne of the papers had a front page photo supposedly of the UK's first consignment leaving the Pfizer factory. If it's transportable like that (and it obviouslyhas to be moved somehow), then presumably it can be transported to mass vaccination sites, set up to cope with high throughput (eg a sports stadium car park).pTrinity765 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 8:12 am How can there be a high uptake when it can't be mass distributed?

The hurdle comes with trying to do it in big quantities within an organisation that's never had to do it before.
