Guchen Thermo Helps South African Cold Chain Companies Safely Transport the COVID-19 Vaccine

The main challenges of vaccine and drug logistics and distribution include the availability of temperature-controlled transport and storage facilities. In our last post, Guchen Thermo details the role of refrigerated truck in vaccines transport. We can learn about that it’s essential to provide South African cold chain firms end-to-end refrigerated transportation solutions

Generally, the vaccines are loaded onto refrigerated vehicles to maintain constant internal temperature, and then delivered to the South African government’s vaccine central storage facilities, where they are quickly stored in huge freezers ready for the impending roll-out.
