The US coronavirus vaccine began to be supplied to Europe even before it was certified by the regulator.
United Airlines has begun shipping Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine to warehouses in the US and Europe, writes The Wall Street Journal.
According to the publication, this is done in order to start vaccinating the population as soon as possible after approval of the drug by regulatory authorities.
It should be noted that the vaccine is delivered to warehouses in the US state of Michigan and Belgium. Subsequently, deliveries are planned to Wisconsin and Germany.
To transport the vaccine, the airline requested permission to transport 6.8 tons of dry ice, which is five times the legal requirement. The newspaper emphasizes that this is necessary to maintain a low temperature on board at which the vaccine can be safely stored.
Recall that on November 20, Pfizer and the German company Biontech submitted an application for registration in the United States of a vaccine against coronavirus.
