Operation Warp Speed and What This Means for Vaccine Transportation
Thermo King is part of the federal government’s Operation Warp Speed, which is planning for the logistics of vaccine transportation and distribution. Factors complicating the logistics are vaccines that require multiple doses and ultra-cold temperatures that are below what refrigerated trailers can provide.
To meet the emerging needs of pharmaceutical companies Thermo King has added to their portfolio a unique Cold Storage Solutions unit to support Covid-19 vaccine transportation and distribution. As the global leader in intelligent end-to-end temperature-control cold-chain solutions, Thermo King has built and introduced an ultra-low temperature solutions unit unlike anything ever seen in the refrigerated transport industry. To safeguard the vaccine products, they will require to be stored and transported in -70° celsius temperatures (-94° Fahrenheit). Thermo King will be working very closely with McKesson Corporation, as they will be the central distributor of future Covid 19 vaccines and supplies in the US, according to the US Department of Defense. McKesson will work under CDC vaccine transport guidelines to ship COVID-19 vaccines to administration sites. Thermo King’s cold storage solutions will enable pharmaceutical companies and distribution to ensure the efficacy of their products through the entire cold chain – from air transport to marine, rail, trailer, last-mile delivery and at storage points along the way.
