A CSIRO study has found MOFs (metal organic frameworks) to be a possible solution to address the challenge of transporting temperature-dependent vaccines. According to the study, for vaccines to work with the maximum potency, they must be stored in specific conditions to avoid degradation across manufacturing, distribution, storage as well as administration; also known as the cold chain logistics. The World Health Organisation had estimated that at least 50 percent of vaccines are wasted globally each year due to a lack of facilities and temperature control. Most vaccines need to be stored at a temperature between 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, however many live vaccines can be frozen and kept at temperatures between -15 to -50 degrees. The requirement of cold-chain logistics were one challenge to Australia’s COVID-19 immunisation rollout in 2021. For instance, both Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines require long-term storage at -70 degrees, making distribution of the vaccines …
