Keep in the home refrigerator ... Moderna vaccine overcomes Pfizer's hurdle

The vaccine developed by the American company Moderna showed 94.5% effectiveness in protecting people from Corona, according to interim results.

The vaccine was produced by Moderna, in cooperation with the US government's "Operation Warp Speed", and it has also been shown that the vaccine lasts for up to 30 days in household refrigerators and at room temperature for up to 12 hours.

It also remains stable at -20 ° C, which is the equivalent of most home or medical refrigerators, for up to six months.

It can also be stored and transported more easily than the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine, which was announced last week to be 90% effective in protecting people from the Coronavirus.

After last week's news, governments around the world have been struggling to grapple with the logistical challenge of deploying a Pfizer vaccine, which needs to be stored at much lower temperatures.

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use a technology known as mRNA, which introduces into the body a sequence that contains genetic instructions for the vaccinated person's cells to produce the antigens and generate an immune response.
