MIKE REMBIS â Vaccine on its way. Zoom screenshots
The University of Hawaii-Maui College has donated a freezer large enough to house thousands of doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, which is expected to arrive on island by the end of the week, Maui Health CEO Mike Rembis said Monday night.
“The vaccine is on its way,” Rembis said during a Zoom presentation hosted by the Nisei Veterans Memorial Center. “I want to give a thank-you to the University of Hawaii-Maui College. They had a huge ultra-low freezer, which they were not using, which they loaned to us, so we can store literally thousands of vaccines below 70 to 80 degrees, and we have the capacity, potentially, for the entire island.”
