Cape Town â WITH the arrival of 1Â million Covid-19 vaccine doses in South Africa on Monday, the country is now a step closer to rolling out the vaccine to its front-line workers.
To ensure a successful distribution and delivery of the vaccine, to all the provinces in the country, the vaccine needs to be transported and stored under specific conditions.
âIt is extremely important to maintain temperature control in the transportation, handling and storage of any vaccine,â explains Eckart Zollner from Ikhaya Automation Systems, a Pietermaritzburg-based remote temperature monitoring specialist company.
