For rural Virginia, getting the vaccine is one thing Storing it is another

For rural Virginia, getting the vaccine is one thing. Storing it is another. West Piedmont Health District’s Nancy Bell (Source: WDBJ) By Eric Miller | December 12, 2020 at 7:14 PM EST - Updated December 12 at 7:14 PM ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) - For months, West Piedmont Health District’s Nancy Bell has spent plenty of time on one major problem: where to keep the sensitive COVID-19 vaccines in her rural chunk of south Virginia. “The past couple of days have been fast-forward planning,” she said. Both vaccines now awaiting approval need to be stored at ultra-cold temperatures. The Pfizer vaccine needs to be kept at around -80 degrees Fahrenheit, about the same temperature as a winter’s day in Antarctica. The Moderna vaccine doesn’t need to be kept as cold, but still has to stay at -20 degrees. That’s putting a burden on rural health districts, like West Peidmont, where the number of freezers capable of hitting those temperatures is limited.
