A South African Freezer Could Be a COVID-19 Vaccination Game-Changer

A Freezer to Transport the COVID-19 Vaccine to Rural Areas?

A South African natural gas company, Renergen, is using its knowledge of cryogenics to develop an ultra-cold biological transport freezer prototype, CryoVacc.

The freezer was created to maintain constant internal temperatures of between 8 to -150 C for more than 25 days — and without needing external power sources.

Could this be a possible solution to safely transport the COVID-19 vaccine to rural areas?

The CEO of the company, Stefano Marani, seems to think so.

"In many of these places where you've got these rural settlements, you don't have the kind of electricity that you need to be able to plug something in. Now the other challenge that you have, is having a freezer that is very transportable and can take you down to minus 70 degrees Celsius."
