Scientists make thermal stabilization solution for COVID-19 vaccines #TheAgenda
The Agenda • 5m 27s
While countries race to vaccinate their populations as quickly as possible, many poorer nations don't have the technology needed to store vaccines at cold temperatures.
Vaccines must be kept at consistently cold temperature while they are transported long distances and when they arrive at their end destination.
If they heat up, the proteins inside the vaccine start to unravel, making it ineffective. If that happens, valuable doses go to waste and potentially millions of people can miss out on lifesaving jabs.
