Hope to see y'all at a Stanford game in the near future.
The Moderna vaccine can be transported at -20, and is stable refridgerated for a week I think, so should be logistically much easier to deploy widely. Posted about this a few weeks ago.
Not sure why Pfizer's mRNA vaccine has much lower temp requirements.
In any case this is incomplete data but what we have thus far is very promising, and bodes well at least for the Moderna vaccine too.
