As the COVID-19 vaccine rollout continues, the demand for reliable cold storage does too. Currently, there are two vaccines approved for emergency use. The Pfizer vaccine requires storage at ultra-low temperatures, -70°C, and the Moderna vaccine requires storage in a freezer at -20°C or in a refrigerator at between 2°C and 8°C for 30 days. A third COVID-19 vaccine from Janssen / Johnson & Johnson is expected to receive EUA at the end of February. This vaccine will require storage in a refrigerator.
Every Vaccine Counts
Reliable cold storage is vitally important to safeguard these vaccines. Helmer’s line of pharmacy refrigerators and freezers meet CDC guidelines and other emerging standards for proper vaccine storage. Ensuring proper cold storage prevents costly temperature excursions which can negatively impact the vaccine potency, or worse, spoil the vaccine entirely. These potential temperature excursions are not only costly, but time consuming in the event a facility must revaccinate patients.

Only professional medical-grade freezers deliver optimized control in three important areas: temperature, noise, and energy management. Helmer’s GX Solutions can help your facility be prepared for the COVID-19 vaccines.
