Pfizer vaccine needs to be kept at -65 Celcius
Although it's not uncommon for vaccines to require a solid cold chain, it appears the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine requires particularly sturdy storage constraints, in the sense that it needs to be kept at -65 Celcius.
I'm certainly not a medical logistics specialist but preliminary indications appearing online appear to indicate those constraints will limit the vaccine to distribution in the wealthiest of nations, where such environmental parameters need to be maintained.
We're likely to hear more in the coming days but just to say that it doesn't appear like we're quite out of the woods yet. So testign will remain a key element of C-19 management for some time yet.
For DM, this provides a window of opportunity to continue pushing forward its AI verticals and secure associated contracts, until such time the C-19 cash inflows dry out.

Trudeau was briefly on the news this morning saying he was very pleased to hear the Pfizer news of their vaccine but he finished off by saying it will be many months, possibly longer, before we see significant change.
