“Modern vaccines have different storage and handling standards, so they can be distributed to isolated and remote communities.” Modena vaccine has the advantage of being easier to distribute than Pfizer’s vaccine, which must be stored at -70°C because it can be stored at -20°C.

Moderna will supply a total of 40 million servings by next year under a contract with the Canadian government. That’s about 20 million people, and it’s two-thirds of Canada’s adult population. First, it will deliver the first vaccine volume to Canada within 48 hours and deliver 168,000 doses by the end of the year. The 2 million batches are planned to be shipped by March next year.
