Any first-mover advantage won’t last long, as some vaccine candidates may be easier to transport and administer than others.

Leon Neal/Getty ImagesThe downside of the current formulation of Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine is that it needs to be stored at ultra-low temperatures instead of the usual 2 to 8℃ for many vaccines on the market. As Pfizer collects more stability data, it has determined the vaccine can stay at 2 to 8℃ for up to 5 days, but longer term storage needs to be around -70℃ . “There's never been a vaccine in the United States that required that kind of storage temperature prior to use,” says Dr.

There are some freezers available for certain products, like oncology drugs and clinical trial materials, but these usually run from 0 to -20℃ , which isn’t cold enough for Pfizer’s vaccine. “The only way to distribute will then be to ship the product, either almost daily, or at least multiple times a week from the manufacturer to the point of vaccination” for ultra-cold chain products, says Yadav.

In the first phase, the program “anticipates having a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines to distribute, which should ease initial concern over potential long-term storage of vaccine doses,” according to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson.
