Covid vaccine stored incorrectly potentially due to Celsius-to-Fahrenheit error

3 点作者 pranavjoneja超过 4 年前
Pfizer&#x27;s covid vaccine is supposed to be stored and transported at -70˚C, but some batches ended up at -92˚C.<p>-92˚F is quite close to -70˚C so this smells a lot like an error due to unit conversion. This &quot;anomaly&quot; happened in two separate instances in California and Alabama<p>(-92˚F - 32) x (5&#x2F;9) = -68.8˚C<p>(-70˚C x (9&#x2F;5)) + 32 = -94˚F<p>Source: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnbc.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;12&#x2F;16&#x2F;covid-vaccine-us-quarantines-pfizer-shipments-in-california-alabama-after-transit-anomaly.html

Question: Is the storage temperature a specific value, or is it an &quot;at least X or below&quot; value?<p>I.e., does -92˚C damage the vaccine in any way?
