Gearing up for Vaccine Logistics

Gearing up for Vaccine Logistics

The past ten months have been the most challenging times for every industry. Losses, both monetary and of human life, have been tremendous. A vaccine for the COVID-19 virus, i.e corona vaccine, has been at the forefront of priority of the medical and healthcare community. Researchers all over the globe have been working overtime to develop a vaccine for the virus. With promising results, the vaccine is said to be released to the public in early 2021. For 8 billion people across the globe, how will this vaccine be effectively delivered? The answer to that lies in a strategic, organised supply chain for transportation and management with corona ready warehouses.

In India, the population of 1.3 billion pose a unique challenge. Along with the government’s facilities, private sectors such as AWL India need to be prepared to give all hands-on deck. Safe delivery across the country in these large batches will be necessary. With the accomplished capacity of AWL India, our logistics team has been gearing up to step up to this new role. We have cold storage facilities in corona ready warehouses all over the country that can take care of appropriate storage to keep vaccines in optimal condition. The corona vaccine must be dealt with the greatest care, and that includes transportation. We’ve laid out plans to introduce refrigerated trucks for vaccine distribution and further expand cold storage facilities in our corona ready warehouses that are ready to be used at a moment’s go.

We’re well aware of the hurdles that supply chain logistics companies such as AWL India may come across in a healthcare crisis. The biggest hurdle is in transportation. Storing and shipping a corona vaccine while maintaining optimum temperature is crucial. When the vial is at -80 degrees, the pre-existing cold chain storage in India (both private and public) can only support -30 degrees. Thus, to gear up for these unprecedented times, corona ready warehouses are made with the cold chain logistics network in AWL India. We will be hard at work to develop strategies to ship it safely around the nation.

Whenever the miracle of the COVID-19 vaccines comes, we ensure that AWL India be fully prepared to deal with efficient corona vaccine distribution in all the nooks and creeks of our country.
