GUARANTEEING THE SAFE STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION OF EVERY VACCINE YOU SHIP

The scale, criticality, and urgency underpinning the global Covid-19 vaccine rollout presents a unique challenge.

Supporting dynamic rollouts and delivering confidence in the integrity of each vaccine are the primary goals. As is the ability to demonstrate how each shipment – from production to patient – is managed with precise temperature controls. A precision that needs to be maintained over the entire cold chain, from the long haul to the last mile, across land, sea, and air.

In response, Thermo King offers the connected, end-to-end active temperature-controlled transport and temporary storage solutions needed to guarantee vaccine integrity.

What’s more, it’s our promise to every vaccine manufacturer that they can trust our technologies to protect their products with the temperatures required for each variant — from -70°C to +30°C.

Transforming success rates in vaccine distribution

—  25% of all vaccines produced globally are compromised by incorrect shipping.

—  WHO estimates suggest more than 50% of vaccines are wasted every year because of temperature control, logistics, and shipment-related issues.

—  The biopharma industry loses approximately $35 billion a year due to failures in temperature-controlled logistics.

Multiple options for multiple temperature requirements

Delivering billions of time- and temperature-sensitive vaccines to the global community presents a hugely complex logistical challenge. Success will come to those with the capacity to ensure products are being handled, transported, stored, and monitored effectively – while consistently maintaining precise temperature control.

To support this endeavor, Thermo King has expanded its TK PharmaSolutions range to deliver complete coverage for every vaccine on the move and at rest, and cover temperature requirements from +30°C to -70°C. These are solutions that help guarantee the integrity of every vaccine shipped, thereby minimizing any product wastage and ensuring faster rollouts to every international community.

With Thermo King, vaccine manufacturers really can think globally and act locally, confident that product quality will never be compromised.

Maintaining Covid-19 vaccine integrity
from refrigerated to ultra-cold

COLD STORAGE SOLUTIONS: COVERING EVERY EVENTUALITY

As well as ensuring tight temperature controls for vaccines in transit, Thermo King also extends this protection to any number of storage points along the way. Our Cold Storage Solutions can maintain temperatures of -70°C for an extended period of time, thereby helping significantly reduce the degradation of any vaccines – while also helping overcome challenges relating to accessibility in less developed locations.
