CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - As demand for a COVID-19 vaccine wanes, clinics are taking extra precautions to prevent any unused doses from spoiling.
Once thawed, a Pfizer vaccine needs to be used within five days and once at room temperature, the vaccine needs to be used within six hours according to the FDA’s EUA fact sheet. Moderna vials have similar handling requirements with punctured vials needing to be used within 12 hours. Each Moderna vial hold 10 doses which means 10 people need to be ready to get the shot within those hours
