Covid -19
Vaccine waste due to incorrect storage
- The Covid-19 vaccine may be the world's most precious resources right now, but that doesn't mean it's never wasted.
- At least a thousand vaccine doses have been discarded in Sweden, due to incorrect storage, according to newspaper Dagens Nyheter.
- Both Pfizer's and Moderna's vaccines have to be transported and stored at very low temperatures, which increases the chances of incorrect storage.
