Moderna Vaccine A Better Fit For Rural Areas

Governor Kim Reynolds says all 99 counties will get doses of the newly approved Moderna COVID vaccine. Moderna’s vaccine can be stored in traditional freezers, while the Pfizer vaccine must be stored at minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit in specialty freezers. One health official says the storage issue makes the Moderna vaccine a better fit for rural hospitals. Pfizer’s vaccine also comes in lots of one thousand doses each – while the Moderna vaccine comes in much smaller lots.
