STORM LAKE, Iowa (KTIV) - A local university is doing its part to help the fight against COVID-19.
Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa is storing the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in a freezer at their Estelle Siebens Science Center. Students that do experiments will store their samples in there. The freezer goes down to minus 86 Celsius or minus 126 Fahrenheit, said Brian Lenzmeier, BVU s President.
President Lenzmeier said he would frequently meet with health officials to discuss COVID-19, and during one of those discussions the topic of of vaccines came up.
Lenzmeier says the Pfizer vaccine has to be kept at a frigid -70 degrees Celsius to ensure they stay viable. He said there are very few freezers like this in rural areas.
