Vietnam prepares super-cold storage for Covid-19 vaccines

Vietnam Vaccine JSC (VNVC), importer of Covid-19 vaccines to Vietnam, was licensed in January to operate three super cold facilities to store Covid-19 vaccines at temperatures ranging from minus 86 to minus 46 degrees Celcius. Each freezer has a defrosting room with temperatures kept at minus 8 degrees Celsius to ensure vaccines are safely thawed prior to usage. Tran Thi Trung Trinh, quality control director at VNVC, said in mid-2020 it had imported equipment and built an ultra-cold chain storage system to prepare for Covid-19 vaccine imports to Vietnam. Using cold gas and cascade refrigeration, involving two or more vapor-compression cycles with different refrigerants, VNVC's super-cold storage system is equipped with an GSM alarm system, a wireless security product and remote device control. All cold and ultra-cold storage facilities are equipped with high-tech on-site and remote temperature monitoring systems. Ultra-cold storage units operated by Vietnam Vaccine JSC (VNVC).
