NORTH KANSAS CITY, Mo. A North Kansas City-based company just launched a product it said provides a revolutionary way to solve the COVID-19 vaccine supply chain deficiencies in storing, transporting, and distributing vaccines that need to be kept at extremely cold temperatures.
Vaccine Pods created an off-grid power solution that can deliver vaccines at uninterrupted ultra-low temperatures while using green, sustainable energy sources.
The technological breakthrough was developed by Vaccine Pods in partnership with HCI Energy, and was designed for use with Stirling Ultracold’s SU780XLE vaccine freezers.
According to the World Health Organization, roughly 50% of all vaccines must be discarded worldwide each year due to improper handling and failed temperature control.
