A local case of coronary pneumonia reappeared in Taiwan after 253 days. Fortunately, significant advances have been made in vaccine research and development. Countries like the United Kingdom and the United States have launched large-scale vaccination; even many legislators have successively asked when the vaccine will arrive in Taiwan, and President Tsai Ing-wen and Vice President President Lai Qingde may publicly take the lead on vaccination and other issues, but there is a certain threshold for the preservation of the vaccine to minus 70 degrees Celsius, so the last mile of the vaccine to Taiwan is still blocked.
With regard to issues related to vaccine procurement in China, including quantities purchased, cold chain technology and equipment, and budget planning, the Minister of Health was asked many times during the parliamentary consultation and Social Welfare, Chen Shizhong. He only urged people to remain calm, but the people of Taiwan are concerned about vaccines. Lai Qingde had no choice but to speak in public. Chen Shizhong has informed the central government that vaccines will be available next year and that domestic vaccines will also intensify research and development.
To solve the problem of the vaccine’s cold chain, the administrative department is looking for local manufacturers to plan a mobile ultra-low temperature refrigerator that can store 20,000 doses of vaccine. In addition to controlling the temperature to minus 80 degrees Celsius, the delivery process does not need to be plugged in for 24 hours and can be operated by precision instruments.

Our reporter followed the line to find Wang Yusheng, the CEO of Fox Information Company (Fox) who had been contacted by the government, who confirmed that he heard an official mention of “delivering vaccines” at a dinner party. It was a headache, and they decided to come up with a solution together.
Wang Yusheng said that cold chain technologies are interconnected. The vaccines are shipped from the pharmaceutical factory to the airport and, after arriving in Taiwan, transported to the place of delivery. During this period, it is not easy to keep medications cold. The traditional cold chain system is relatively broken and the logistics vehicle is the lowest. The temperature only reaches minus 20 degrees centigrade. If the cold preservation effect is not good during transportation, the goods may repeatedly thaw and freeze. Based on past experience, even breast milk will deteriorate, not to mention the vaccine.
Compared with major foreign logistics companies UPS and FedEx that deliver vaccines on dry ice, industry experts say that because Taiwan’s refrigeration technology is quite advanced, ultra-low temperature refrigerators can avoid the problems of damage. dry ice and repeated replenishment. The cost can probably be saved by more than half, but the actual construction budget is related to the business agreement and cannot be disclosed.
Additionally, Fox is cooperating with Apple iPhone assembler “Wistron” for packaging and testing. Wang Yusheng stressed that it is not a problem to build a refrigerator, which can absolutely guarantee the cold quality of the vaccine delivery process, but currently must cooperate with the above international vaccines. Factories and downstream locations must conduct operational drills first, in hopes of helping Taiwan complete the last mile against the new crown.
