The Distribution of The Covid Vaccine

Obviously it takes more than one person to develop a vaccine so how do people work together to develop and distribute a vaccine? To start, the vaccine has to stay the at the same temperature from the time it is made to the time it gets injected. For this to happen, They will need to be packed in with dry ice and planes, trucks and warehouses will need to be outfitted with freezers for transportation of the vaccine, the article talks about arranging rows of upright freezers that are capable of holding 48,000 vials in a warehouse to keep the vials at the correct temperature. Each file also needs to be carefully clean, filled, stoppered, sealed and packaged. When it comes to who needs the vaccine first, they will focus on poorer countries and countries that need it the vaccine most, such as India. Aside from when the vaccine will actually be approved, there is a lot of other aspects that go into it, including timing the orders of medical products like syringes and all the raw materials required to make them, increasing manufacturing shifts and overtime for employees to produce the number of vials and syringes needed for the vaccine and collaborating with American and foreign trade authorities to expedite shipments in shorten lead times.
