The arrival of an initial shipment of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine here in Central New York has been met with much celebration and relief. But many might not realize the logistics behind producing the vaccine and getting it to its destinations.  WAER News caught up with a Syracuse University Professor of Supply Chain Management Burak Kazaz at the Whitman School.
He says Pfizer/BioNtech is using a tighter, streamlined supply chain between its manufacturing facilities in Michigan and Belgium, and a distribution center in Wisconsin.
"In this particular situation, especially early on, beacuse the supply is very limited, they will probably make direct shipments to the point of destination.  From the distribution center or factory, they're going to do the smallest number of trips and smaller number of hand-offs between different parties."
