This release may be warranted but I don't see how it can be successful. Any vaccine that has to be distributed and held at -70 degrees (YES, SEVENTY BELOW ZERO) sounds like an failure all along its line of delivery.

liquid nitrogen is colder than that and has had routine lines of delivery for years

How so?
It sure isn’t dispensed at -70.
This just indicates that in order to have a decent shelf life, it needs to be temp controlled.
Sometimes pop-in thoughts that appear to be common sense....aren’t.

Iowa medical society mass e-mailing says Iowa Department of Public Health has already approved over 1000 vaccine provider agreements, including all local public health agencies, 83 hospitals, 260 long-term care facilities, 192 pharmacies and many independent physician clinics And identified 29 locations statewide for that needed ultra-cold storage. Does sound like the logistics planning has been well done.
