Pfizer can now stay in your refrigerator for 1 month!

Hi, all,
In case you haven’t seen it, FDA just approved Pfizer vaccine for storage for up to 1 month in the refrigerator! Hurray!

Thank you! This is a game changer.

What doesn’t make sense is refrigerator 30 days, but freezer is still 10 days.

Really?? That hasn’t been re-evaluated?

You can actually keep it in the freezer for 2 weeks. So essentially we have 6 weeks of storage now (2 weeks in the freezer and 30 days in the refrigerator). No word on extending that yet, but I know they are constantly looking at how to improve the storage requirements.

Thanks for sharing that
