Experts have been concerned about the viability of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, because, unlike its peers, it has to be stored at extra cold temperatures of -70°C.
Vials will be shipped in boxes, called ‘shippers’, that can hold between 1000 and 5000 doses and contain a tracker to measure the temperature at all times. They will be transported by lorry or by plane.
Each vial contains five doses because its content can be diluted with normal saline solution.
Once delivered, they can remain stable at fridge temperatures of 2-8°C for up to five days.
People will be able to be vaccinated in over 1,500 immunisation centres in England alone, the biotech said.
