There is also this technological hurdle to clear.
LINK
The technology to produce vials/syringes that will withstand their low temps that RNA vaccines need doesn’t exist yet. I’m currently in a trial with Pfizer and received two doses of vaccine vs placebo and each time had to wait for the injection to be prepared for 30-45 minutes (or just going through the motions with saline so I wouldn’t know I was getting placebo).

A typical freezer will go to -4 F. Common Deep freezers go to-20. Since the phase 1 trials, Pfizer has determined that their Vaccine can be stored for up to 3 months at -4 F, like the Moderna vaccine.
Dippin Dots have to be kept at -20 F. Ice Cream Freezers in stores are kept at -5 F.
Walgreens and CVS both sell ice cream, but the "expert" in the story says they won't be able to store the Moderna vaccine at -4 F.
The trial only has a few hundred participants at each location and only see 10s of the participants per day. As distribution is scaled up, there will be doses constantly being prepared so people don't have to wait for inoculation.

Vaxart is in phase 1 of an oral vaccine that won’t have to be stored at low temps and will travel better. It prob won’t be out until March 2021 tho, and that’s if everything goes smoothly. Moderna is def the front runner right now tho since AstraZenaca messed up a bit.

Link? Everything I‘ve seen says -110 F. If you’re correct that’s great news.

Astrazeneca didn’t “mess up a bit”, they appropriately paused their trial and found a new illness someone developed was unrelated to the vaccine, and then resumed the trial.

Ok if you say so

Lol at the downvote. Sucks to suck. Try sticking to things you know frickall about. Medicine and vaccines aren’t it.

In this link from Pfizer it says it can be stored for 5 days at refrigerator temperatures.
The CEO said to congress that it can go for weeks at -4 F. Moderna has said their Vaccine can do a week at refrigerator temperatures and 3 months at -4.
Regardless, if it can do 5 days above freezing, that eliminates a major distribution hurdle that the doomcasters have been pushing for the last month.

That’s very good news that I hadn’t heard. Thanks for that.
