How do you vaccinate a population of billions? The global rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine is what we all have been waiting for. Yet, there are many logistical obstacles still to face.

One of the biggest challenges for the distribution of the vaccines is the strict temperature conditions in which some of them must be stored – as low as –80°C.

This poses specific logistics problems to existing medical supply chains that conventionally distribute vaccines at ~2–8°C, and to regions with limited cold chain infrastructure.

Transportation and cold chain logistics under stringent temperature requirements may require extraordinary measures to reach people outside the 25 countries with the most advanced logistics systems, which are home to just one-third of the world population.

Fortunately, @DeutschePostDHL has plenty of experience with vaccine storage. DHL Medical Express works with the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector to transport temperature-controlled supplies to hospitals, laboratories, and research institutions safely and in one piece.

For these shipments, time is of the essence, they are often needed in real life and death situations with no margin for delay.

Despite the daunting and relentless operation that lies ahead, Travis Cobb says DHL’s international presence means it is prepared.
