FedEx and Pfizer have taken precautions to handle possible inclement weather – and other complications – that might impede the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine across the country.
This week saw the first distributions of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer already had to overcome a significant hurdle when the company announced that the vaccine required storage at temperatures of minus 70 degrees Celsius or below, and breaking the cold chain could render the vaccine useless.
Now, the country is bracing for a nor’easter to hit the East Coast Wednesday, bringing possible blizzard conditions and ice from the Mid-Atlantic to New England.
