“#2021 is the year that dry ice gets hot<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine\u2014on track to be the first delivered to Canada\u2014must be kept below -70\u00b0 C, which will require dry ice, and lots of it\n <\/div>\n
\n When assessing the logistical challenges of distributing hundreds of millions of coronavirus vaccine doses across North America, a University of Texas molecular scientist remarked during a recent forum that it\u2019s time to invest in publicly traded ice cream companies. An Austin-based TV station took the quip seriously, checked with ice cream companies and learned that, no, their freezers won\u2019t be conscript<\/a>ed into the Great Vaccine Relay of 2021.<\/p>\n

So purveyors of strawberry and mint chocolate chip can rest easy. Colossal effort, though, will be required from the rest of the cold-storage industry to house and ship the myriad vials of vaccine Canadians and Americans will need. The promising Moderna vaccine must be kept below -20\u00b0 C, while Pfizer\u2019s\u2014which is on track to be the first delivered to Canada\u2014must be kept in the \u201cultra cold\u201d supply chain, below -70\u00b0 C, which requires dry ice (solid-form carbon dioxide). \u201cThe sheer scale of doses to be distributed will overwhelm existing infrastructure,\u201d warned a September report by pharmaceutical distribution giant McKesson Canada.<\/p>\n

Already, extreme-chill medical freezers are in unprecedented demand. But, as with everything from personal protective equipment to toilet paper, suppliers and shippers are gearing up for this wartime-style undertaking. Dry ice makers say they can ramp up production to prevent shortages of their pellets and blocks. Logistics firms have lined up to store deep-frozen vaccines and transport them to warehouses and health facilities. Canadian government procurement requests suggest they\u2019ll have suppliers in place by mid-December. This crisis has been a major test of society\u2019s ability to keep its proverbial cool. Now comes the literal challenge.
