Lufthansa Cargo Covid-19 vaccine shipping and logistics preparation


The various Covid-19 vaccines all have special cold storage requirements, which Lufthansa Cargo is equipped to handle.
The cargo industry has already been overwhelmed this year by how many people shopping from home, leading to shipping surges and late packages.
There will likely be a fight for space between vaccines, Amazon packages, furniture, cars, and other cargo.
We went inside to see how the team is getting ready to ship up to 10 million COVID-19 vaccine doses a day.
Following is a transcipt of the video.
Narrator: Cargo planes like this MD-11 will soon be transporting the most anticipated vaccine of the 21st century. Prior to the coronavirus, Lufthansa Cargo invested $5 million to upgrade its facility at Chicago O'Hare International Airport to handle a lot more pharmaceutical cargo -- 200 tons a day, to be exact. So when pharma companies began to develop the coronavirus vaccine, Lufthansa was in a fortuitous position. Vaccine manufacturers reached out to the company, which has just 19 planes in its cargo fleet, to help distribute millions of vaccines in record time.
