Hi All,
Does any have any information on the transportation of the Pfizer COVID Vaccine?
I have heard some reports the Pfizer COVID vaccine can only be moved 5 times in total. And what is moved?
If the cold chain is maintained and the vaccine stored at the correct temperature is it still limited to 5 moves?
Ta Paul.

HI Paul,
Linfox and DHL have the contract for major transport. According to Prof Kidd at the PHC implementation meetings, there will special units made to transport the goods that will go to 30-50 national hubs, predominantly hospital based public health units. The tender for COVID19 vaccine education modules has been awarded and work is underway. The DoH and Chief nurse have been working on media and campaign materials. They are due to come out this week. The peak bodies will be sent the media pack and I presume any new announcements will go up on the COVID19 page https://www.australia.gov.au/ . At the moment we are all just waiting for news of the next steps.
Kind regards
Karen

Dear Paul
Heres a recent excerpt from the Pfizer CEO from their site not sure where youve seen it can only be transported 5 times once in cold chain there should be no issues – you will see references to 5 days in the excerpt which appears to be where your ref has confused with transportation.

An Open Letter from Pfizer Chairman and CEO Dr. Albert Bourla
Every day, I am asked about how Pfizer and our partners at BioNTech will distribute our COVID-19 vaccine now that it has begun to be authorized by regulators in different countries. People have questions about the process, the storage logistics and everything in between. But the underlying question is always the same: How will Pfizer and BioNTech ensure a seamless distribution of our vaccine?
More than 70 million cases of COVID-19 have been recorded globally, and that number is rising at an alarming rate. With the pandemic still raging, our vaccine will be in high demand and, upon authorization or approval, rapidly utilized to help beat back the virus. Recognizing this urgency, we have been planning for distribution for months and are continuing to work around the clock, so we can bring the vaccine to the world as quickly, efficiently and equitably as possible.
It is important the public understands some key points about how we are making this happen.
1. Weve pioneered solutions to distribution and storage requirementsIn the last few months alone, Pfizer has developed cutting-edge packaging and storage solutions to meet the needs of the varied locations that will be distributing the vaccine – whether they are in a major cites or rural towns. Our engineers created specially designed, temperature-controlled shipping containers (that we call shippers), which contain GPS temperature enabled trackers for continuous, real-time location and temperature monitoring and can maintain required temperature conditions for up to 10 days unopened. We will have a Pfizer 24/7 control tower monitoring and tracking all shipments to ensure each shipments gets to where it needs to go at the right time and at the right temperature and take action if needed along the way. Once opened, the shippers can be used for temporary storage for up to 30 days, if the units are re-iced every five days effectively making them temporary deep freezers. Additionally, vials containing our vaccine can be stored at refrigerator temperatures (2-8 degrees Celsius / 35 – 46 degrees Fahrenheit) for five days once out of the shippers. These specialized thermal shippers are roughly the size of a carry-on suitcase and much like a suitcase, can be quickly and easily transported globally.
Also have a look at the attachment which outlines their distribution and storage information across the US.
Theres lots of varied information on the Pfizer web site about the vaccine as well-

Hope this helps.
