Be interesting to see how that's managed. Apparently it's viable for 5 days once removed but that's not really a long time with the scale being discussed.
Think i'd be more interested in our one.Going to be another couple of weeks.
 
My old man has just rang me and him and my step mam have tested positive, this morning. One of the carers brought it into the home. My step mam gets 24hr care as she's severely disabled following a brain tumour. He's worried sick about her, of course, but he's over 20 stone now. I'm worried about them both.

Sorry to hear your news mate, I hope they get the care and treatment they need and shake it off <ok>
 
Seems they would use dry ice, which is -78c but there's been a global shortage for years.

I thought I heard something that it only needs to be stored at that temp if you want to keep it more than a week. Although that just leads to more questions, can it be stored at that temp until arrival at the GP's then left out in a lesser temp, as long has it is used within a week. Ie drip feed the GP's with supplies a week at a time. What happens to the dose after a week, does it become less effective, non effective. How do we know if the dose has protected us and the batch given was fit for purpose.

It’s not going to be administered at GP’s mate. It’s going to done at designated vaccine centres, due to the issue of storage. They’re going to have mobile units to go to care homes first.
