The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has made the conditions for the transport and storage of the corona vaccine from the manufacturers Pfizer and Biontech considerably easier.
The EMA announced on Friday in Amsterdam that the preparation could also be stored in standard refrigeration for pharmaceuticals for a short time.
Until now, the vaccine had to be stored in special freezers at temperatures down to minus 90 degrees.
Therefore vaccination was only possible in large centers.
The EMA now allows the ampoules to be transported and stored at temperatures of minus 25 to minus 15 degrees - for a period of up to two weeks.
Standard refrigeration for drugs is sufficient for this.
