State health officials said another priority is maintaining the vaccine. Many hospitals have the refrigeration or freezer units necessary to maintain this vaccine as a minus-80 (degrees), but also the shipments of the vaccines that will come in should be able to maintain the vaccine at that low temperature, with the dry ice, for a period of time, Maryland Deputy Health Secretary Dr. Jinlene Chan said.
Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require two doses given 21 days apart.
