Hot Dog Trucks Deliver Covid-19 Vaccines In Bulgaria, What This Reveals

Well, to be frank, here is some interesting news about the Covid-19 vaccine from Bulgaria.

Bulgaria recently received its first shipment of Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 coronavirus vaccines. The next step was to distribute these 9,750 doses to different parts of the country, which is not an easy task. Many countries around the world may not have adequate transportation on hand to transport such product. How did Bulgaria get out of such a predicament? Well, Boryana Dzhambazova reported for The New York Times about what happened next, and you might enjoy the solution.

Hot dog trucks may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to transporting vaccines. It’s probably not the second, third, or 542nd thing. Nonetheless, refrigerated hot dog trucks ended up being the hot dog when the Bulgarian government had to choose a way to distribute, rather, distribute Covid-19 vaccines in various places in the country. Police escorted these hot dog trucks (because when hot dog trucks are not escorted by police) to make sure the vaccines reach their destinations. Yes, with the lack of more specialized trucks, these may have been the most appropriate vehicles that officials could use to keep valuable cargo moving.

Now hot dogs and Covid-19 vaccines are two very different things. One of them is a very valuable cargo that must arrive on time. The other is Covid-19 vaccines. However, to be fair, Covid-19 vaccines are needed a lot more than hot dogs right now the sausage way. According to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center, Bulgaria to date has had 201,220 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 7,515 deaths related to Covid-19. This, of course, is not as bad as the United States. However, the pandemic remains a great threat to all countries in the world.

Compared to Covid-19 vaccines, hot dogs can be stored in a wider range of conditions. For example, you can keep hot dogs on your stomach. Or your mouth. Or maybe on your pillow. The main requirement is that they must be refrigerated until ready to be consumed and not be under something that can crush them like a Zamboni.

Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, on the other hand, have much more stringent storage requirements. Since they contain quite fragile mRNA, these vaccines should be stored at a temperature of -94 degrees Fahrenheit. If a healthcare professional tells you that they have stored the vaccine in your stomach or on a plate with some fries, apologize, back away slowly, and discreetly ask the clinic to reassign you to someone else.

As you can imagine, hot dogs are much more robust and durable than mRNA vaccines. For example, you can toss hot dogs to remove your friend’s crown or tiara, while tossing mRNA will not achieve the same result. Of course, a hot dog to the face is not necessarily a good way to show friendship or affection, unless, of course, you add the words, “with love.” In general, the words “with love” can help soften anything you do, except during a boxing match or wrestling match where it can get a little strange.

If your roommate insists on keeping their hot dogs at -94 degrees Fahrenheit, let him know that it is not necessary and that you don’t want to waste precious time waiting for your hot dog to thaw. You’d rather spend so much time doing something more productive that requires concentration, like watching the TV show. keeping up with the Kardashians.

Per U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, you can keep hot dogs in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, which is several days after a Scaramucci. This is longer than the five days you can keep a Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine in the refrigerator.

Having to break your buns to administer Covid-19 vaccines isn’t a great sign. Ideally, you should have specialized vehicles to transport products such as vaccines. Otherwise, you run the risk that the vaccines are not properly maintained and handled, which could damage and even inactivate the vaccines. Also, do not confuse vaccines with something like hot dogs and vice versa. For example, posting on social media that you were vaccinated and that it was really tasty can generate some puzzling responses. Similarly, when a healthcare professional tells you that they need to catch up with you in 21 days for the second dose of the vaccine, it is not the same as serving ketchup.

But not every part of the world will have the right “cold chain” equipment and vehicles to carry Covid-19 vaccines. In fact, many parts of the US may not be prepared. So far, vaccine distribution efforts in the US have not gone well. If such efforts were a movie, it would not deserve an Oscar, that is, an Oscar and not an Oscar Mayer Weiner. The Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic has exposed many of the existing problems in society, and one of them is the lack of well-functioning vaccine supply chains around the world. It will be important to assess and strengthen the capabilities and resources of vaccine supply chains (i.e. the personnel, equipment, vehicles, locations, and processes required to bring vaccines from source to people) across the globe. world asap. that the launch of the Covid-19 vaccine is not fraught with problems. Vaccine delivery is not a simple task and is certainly more complex than hot dog delivery.
