This week, 23 members of the British Rother Research Station were vaccinated. The vaccine doses were transported while maintaining the temperature at 2-8 degrees Celsius.
“The ability to vaccinate people will help keep the population of the station and Antarctica virus-free,” said Matthew Phillips, head of the Rothera winter station.
The next batch of vaccine for the second vaccination will be delivered to Antarctica in 4 weeks.
