There is a lot that can go wrong between the manufacturing of the COVID-19 vaccine and when that vaccine actually gets into someone’s arm. Much of the challenge has to do with keeping those vaccines in crucial cold storage all along the way. Now, there is a clearer picture of what’s being done to keep this so-called “cold chain” intact in Connecticut.
**SNIP**
There is increasingly high demand for these ultra-low freezers because the vaccine made by Pfizer needs to be kept at -70 degrees Celsius (-94 degrees Fahrenheit). Meanwhile, the Moderna vaccine also needs to be kept frozen, but at -20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit).
“Once we learned that Pfizer’s vaccine required such low temperatures, we then ordered ours immediately and were lucky enough to get it before the supply chain challenges showed up,” said Eadie.
Connecticut needs adequate cold storage for whatever vaccines come this way. Eadie said the purchase of his hospital’s new freezer certainly helps with capacity. Even though it is not a massive piece of equipment, it can hold a substantial amount of vials of vaccine.
“It has the capacity to holding 600,000 vials. So, technically, that’s enough for the entire state of Connecticut,” Eadie said.

600,000 vials is only 300,000 patients since two shots are required. Don’t see how that covers the entire state.
Sounds a bit iffy to me as in unstable so from freezer to injection does it becomes useless..I wont know thats fer sure
Well, they would be bringing in the second dose in follow-on shipments, but even then I think there are more people in CT than that
-70 degrees Celsius must make the ice cream impossible.
Has it ever been explained why this alleged vaccine needs to be kept at temperatures not found in nature?
Do they blast this into your arm when its that cold?
Where the hell is the Moderna vaccine?
A LOT of anti-vaxxers live there?
Russia telling people they cant drink for 2 months after taking the vaccine.
They gotta keep it that cold to prevent it from forcing its way out of the vials, coalescing into a large blob and achieving critical mass.

You are assuming that one vial equals one dose. One vial may very well hold multiple doses, as it does for insulin.
Vials are not the same thing as doses.
WHAT damage to my tissues/blood supply would such a cold injection cause???
Not interested in finding out first hand.
No. It can be kept at warmer temperatures, just not for very long. Something like 6 hours at room temperature.
I was wondering too if it is injected at that cold temp whats the damage and there will be damage, or is it needed to be 98.6 or there abouts and then become degraded and then useless ?
Too many unknowns.
It is an RNA vaccine. RNA is much less stable than DNA for a few reasons.
The main one is that Deoxyribose (the D in DNA) is missing an oxygen atom when compared to ribose (the R in RNA). That oxygen atom, as part of a hydroxyl group, is very reactive and tends to combine with other elements and break down the RNA quickly.
DNA is designed to be very stable and last a long time. It is nature’s long-term information storage.
RNA is designed to be used quickly and temporary. It is a set of instructions for immediate work, not storage.
If even leaving the door to one of these freezers open fo just a few minutes degrades the vaccine, what does injecting it into a 98.6° body do to it?
The vaccine is warmed up prior to injection. It can be kept at warmer temperatures for a period of time. Just not for days and weeks.
Kind of like food in the fridge. It doesn’t go bad the moment you take it out and warm it up. But there are definitely some things you wouldn’t want to eat after leaving it out for a few days.
