Kickstart: The very long supply chain for vaccines
The very long supply chain for vaccines
I think it s fair to say that there are a lot of questions and concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, especially around the issue of how long it will be until we (or our loved ones) can get their shot.
As reporter Sarah Kominek writes, the issue behind that question is very big. There s the production capacity at drug companies and issues related to distribution by individual states or counties. Beyond that, there s the manufacturing of syringes that is seeing Becton, Dickinson & Co. expand production and Florida injection molder National Molding LLC working overtime for its production of tamper-evident seals for liquid injectable vials, for just two items.
