Australia s first shipment of the Pfizer vaccine will be distributed in top secret by global logistics firm DHL once it touches down from Belgium next week.
Thousands of doses of the long-awaited vaccine that must be stored below -70C will be warehoused in a top secret location in Sydney before being distributed to 200 cold storage facilities around the country, DHL has revealed.
The ultra-cold temperature requirement makes transporting and storing it difficult.
Pfizer says after storage for up to 30 days in their thermal shipper, their vaccine can be stored for an additional five days at 2C to 8C. It cannot be re-frozen or stored frozen, the Pfizer website says.
