Context: The biggest challenge to distribute Covid-19 vaccines to hundreds of millions of peopleis availability of enough freezers?
Concept:
Vaccines are similar to dairy or meat products in that their chemical structures are maintained when they are kept within certain temperature ranges. Therefore, vaccines needs to stored and transported at cold temperatures. This will lead to a big logistics challenge for covid-19 vaccine development and distribution.
Warm vaccine: It is a vaccine that can maintain its chemical structure even in room temperature. This will help to manage the logistical challenge.
