Evergreen Airlines is commissioned to refit and fly to Europe and America
[Reporteros Lin Huiqin, Xiao Jiixin / Informe de Taipei]Wuhan pneumonia vaccines are coming forth! Taiwan has not only ordered tens of millions of doses of the AZ vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca. According to the exclusive information of this newspaper, the command center has also purchased through the international distribution platform COVAX vaccines, which are launched successively in the United Kingdom and the United States. Pfizer cooperated with BNT Pharmaceuticals for the vaccines and has commissioned to Evergreen Airlines to refit cargo aircraft to add liquid nitrogen refrigeration equipment and fly to Europe and America to deliver pending vaccines.Purchase through the COVAX vaccine distribution platform
The command center recently stated that COVAX has launched three first-wave vaccines against countries with options including Taiwan, one of which is the Pfizer vaccine. The amount available for purchase is between 10% and 50% of the population of each country. According to an estimate of around 2.3 million people in Taiwan, the purchase quantity in China should start at 4.6 million doses, but not necessarily all of the same brand.
Pfizer vaccine should be stored at minus 70 degrees
The effective rate of the Pfizer vaccine test can reach 95% and two doses are required, but transportation and storage must take place at minus 70 degrees Celsius. Vaccine experts noted that equipment such as liquid nitrogen meets the needs of minus 70 degrees and 80 degrees and meets the needs of the Pfizer vaccine, while the Modern Modena vaccine requires less than 20 degrees to apply liquid nitrogen. Furthermore, the government is reported to have debated the transportation issue. In addition to low temperature equipment, you are also concerned that too many loads are being carried at once. If something goes wrong, the entire batch can be lost. Therefore, the single trip load is expected to be limited to 400,000 doses.
Pfizer’s agent in Asia is Shanghai Fosun Pharma. People in the pharmaceutical industry pointed out that Taiwan’s contract purchase through COVAX does not have to deal with Chinese players.
Zhuang Renxiang, a spokesman for the command center, still did not systematically confirm yesterday, only saying that the progress will be explained to the outside world. The outside world is concerned that countries like Europe, the United States and Japan have ordered the Pfizer and Modena vaccines, and that Taiwan will have to wait until the second quarter of next year to buy them. He replied that “I shouldn’t be so pessimistic.”
EVA Air has not confirmed whether it is entrusted with vaccine delivery, but emphasizes that it has ultra-low temperature delivery capabilities. China Airlines also stated that its cargo aircraft cold chain equipment is internationally certified, and many vaccine factories have already consulted and are in the process of making arrangements.
