Like the Pfizer vaccine, the Modena vaccine has priority for healthcare workers and residents and employees of long-term care facilities.
Pfizer vaccines must be transported and stored at a cryogenic temperature of -75 degrees Celsius, but modena vaccines can be stored at -20 degrees Celsius, which is a normal freezing temperature, which makes distribution relatively easy.
The first dose of the Modena vaccine was distributed in the United States by the federal government’s ‘Warp Speed Operation’ team responsible for distributing the vaccine.
Health and Welfare Minister Alix Aza said in a briefing on the high-speed operations team that in the future, the Modena vaccine will be distributed to more places compared to the Pfizer vaccine.
“Modern vaccines can be stored in rural areas that are more difficult to access,” Aza said. “We will adjust vaccine distribution to meet state requests.”
