According to the company, the Biontech / Pfizer vaccine appears to remain stable even at significantly higher temperatures than previously known. This means that in the future it could also be stored in normal pharmaceutical refrigerators. That would greatly facilitate delivery and storage.
Even when stored between -25 and -15 ° C, the vaccine does not run the risk of losing its efficacy. Previously it was said that the vaccine should be stored at temperatures between -80 ° C and -60 ° C.
Delivery and storage should be even easier
“The data submitted could simplify the handling of our vaccine in pharmacies and offer vaccination centers even greater flexibility,” said Biontech chief Ugur Sahin. So far, the findings have been presented to the US Drug Agency.
