About that vaccine

It has to be kept at -94F.
“We have to understand that Operation Warp Speed has been a remarkable effort in terms of bringing vaccines forward. I give them great credit for that. But there still are huge challenges in how to distribute it,” Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, said on “CBS This Morning.”

“Remember, this vaccine has to be kept at minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit ... we don't have refrigeration operations like that out here and there have been very few resources provided to states and local health departments to go beyond the initial planning,” Osterholm added. “We at the public health world out here are concerned about the planning the military is bringing forward touted by many as the answer, when in fact in many cases we're concerned it's part of the problem."

"We have a perfect storm coming together. We have pandemic fatigue, people who were distancing themselves from others for months who just decided, you know, I'm kind of done with it,” Osterholm added.
