Each vial of the Pfizer vaccine holds five doses when diluted. Once thawed, the undiluted vial can be kept in a refrigerator for only five days. A diluted vial can be kept for only six hours before it must be discarded.

The Moderna vaccine is stored frozen at minus-20 degrees Celsius, but it keeps for a month at refrigerator temperatures. This could make it easier to distribute to pharmacies and rural areas that don’t have specialized freezers.

The Canadian territories have already told our government they don't want the Pfizer vaccine and will hold out for one of the others for that exact reason. To be honest, hearing about some of logistical issues facing vaccine administration has really dampened my optimism.

And it's shipped batches of 975 doses. I'm now reading that Pfizer is only sending out 20 million doses (in US) by the end of the year.

Anyone need a truck driving job?

Canada was supposed to see vaccines in March, I guess they pleaded and Pfizer jumped them up the line and we'll see some next week. A whole 250 000 doses, lol.

The fact that there's no task force outside of them is nuts. We've really screwed this up. Not responding to the pandemic, which is time sensitive, with the standard bureaucracy of evaluation was the whole point in the spring. We kind of just forgot that somewhere. It just feels like so much of this is obvious and could have been coordinated.

Also glad to hear that it sounds like ivermectin has clinic data beyond the bench top. Any idea where their manuscript is?
