On Friday morning, Thailand received the first batch of 1.5 million doses of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine donated by the US.

 

Pfizer is quite a complicated vaccine to handle, it has to be stored at minus 80 degrees Celsius. One of the shipping companies which handles the logistics for the vaccine globally is DHL express, which is also the company that made the delivery to Thailand today.

Hard to handle. Difficult to ship. Complicated storage and distribution. This is like an advertisement for Chinese vaccines.

Hope they warm it up before injecting it, ah maybe the cold hearted HiSo here can accept it at -80?

"Pfizer is quite a complicated vaccine to handle, it has to be stored at minus 80 degrees Celsius"

that is a lie/distortion of facts, fake news, governmental propaganda.

 

"While Comirnaty has proven highly effective, it was initially a challenging vaccine to distribute because it had to be kept frozen at –94°F (–70°C). On Feb. 19, Pfizer and BioNTech announced that they could keep the vaccine stable at -25°C to -15°C (-13°F to 5°F)."
