One of the main problems with this vaccine: logistics! How? ‘Or’ What store a vaccine at -70 ° C while respecting the cold chain? A Montpellier company Koovea seems to have found the solution.

Koovea, the sensor that ensures the cold chain
Koovea’s order book has exploded since they invented a a bit special transport bag. Now we know that Pfizer / BioNtech and Moderna vaccines must be stored at -70 ° C to maintain their effectiveness before injection.
The Koovea bag is equipped with a traceability sensor and allows monitor temperature internal down to -200 ° C ! Concretely, the sensor indicates directly on the smartphone of the “carrier” of vaccines when the temperature rises above -60 °, a tolerance of 10 degrees being acceptable. It is therefore easier to act quickly in the event of “overheating”!
In France, at present, 500,000 doses are sent every week… And, the number of doses should increase over the next few weeks… With an increase in orders observed by 20% in a few weeks, Koovea could do the heist of the year with its special vaccine sensor!
