Frozen vials of Pfizer s COVID-19 vaccine may be stored at temperatures commonly found in pharmaceutical freezers for a period of up to two weeks, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Thursday.
The move loosens a previous requirement that the vaccine should be stored at ultra-low temperatures, between -112 and -76 degrees Fahrenheit (-80 to -60 degrees Celsius). The alternative temperature for transportation and storage will help ease the burden of procuring ultra-low cold storage equipment for vaccination sites and should help to get vaccine to more sites, said Peter Marks, director of the FDA s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.

Agents perform second water rescue in week
Agents perform second water rescue in week
Release Date: February 22, 2021
YUMA, Ariz. – Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents rescued
three illegal aliens from drowning in the Salinity Canal Thursday evening. The rescue was the second in a week where agents have saved the lives of people who misjudged the canal’s strong currents.
Just before 8 p.m., agents responded to the canal near County 13 ½ after a group of 23 illegally crossed the border into the United States and then attempted to cross the canal.
Two females and one male couldn’t escape the canal due to the fast-moving current. Agents threw rescue discs to the aliens and pulled them from the canal.
Pfizer and BioNTech say they’re submitting new data to the FDA that shows their COVID-19 vaccine can be stored at higher temperatures, which could help make the distribution process easier.
