Overseas Network, January 21stAccording to the New York Post, nearly 12,000 doses of the new coronary pneumonia vaccine were unusable due to deterioration due to low ambient temperature on the way to Michigan.
A distributor in Texas, McKesson Corporation (McKesson Corporation) issued 21 batches of vaccines on the 17th, that is, 11,900 doses of COVID-19 vaccine. Their storage temperature is below the range of minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit to 5 degrees Fahrenheit recommended by the federal government, and they are deemed unusable.
Michigan’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, said in a statement, “Although (the vaccine cannot be used) is unfortunate, we are happy to implement this to ensure the integrity of the vaccine. The safeguards worked.” Last week, Michigan distributed about 29,000 doses of vaccine every day. This incident was considered by Halden as the first report that the vaccine was “possibly damaged” during its shipment to Michigan.
McKayson spokesperson David Matthews said, “The company is replacing these vaccines” and “At the same time, we have determined the root cause of the problem-some of the condensation used to maintain the proper temperature during transportation. The temperature of the gel pack is too low and measures have been taken to prevent this from happening again in the future.” The company has actively reviewed some other vaccines that were supposed to be shipped on the 28th and found that a small part of the products were also affected by the problem of the gel pack. , So there is no shipment. They will be replaced with new vaccines in the next 24 hours. (Overseas Net-USA-Qiao Shanshan/Intern Compiler Sun Yuke)Return to Sohu to see more
