Hundreds of Covid-19 vaccine doses tossed out in Pueblo
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) A portable storage unit malfunction forced health officials in Pueblo County to toss out hundreds of doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
According to the Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment (PDPHE), 300 doses of the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine have been rendered unusable.
On January 4th, the vaccines were being transported from the Pueblo County Health Department to a Pueblo Fire Station to vaccinate first responders.
The Pfizer vaccine has to be stored at a temperature of -94 degrees. However, vaccines must be thawed-out before usage. At that point, they must remain within 36-46 degrees Fahrenheit.
