DO NOT Click any link 'The whole world is watching' As billions wait and hope for a COVID-19 vaccine, life science logisticians prepare for the project of their lives. Tuesday, June 23, 2020 If all goes well, scientists will defy the longest of odds and bring to market a vaccine, or multiple vaccines, to defeat the novel coronavirus by late 2020 or early 2021. years ahead of any vaccine clinical trial timetable in history. A select group of experts will then take the baton to confront an equally historic task: globally distributing billions of vials (meaning: small glass container to store a liquid medicine) of lifesaving medicine, syringes and other treatment tools quickly, reliably and safely to a desperate world. The life sciences supply chain, composed of specialized professionals working in the world's most demanding vertical, has trained its whole life for this moment. Three leading firms interviewed for this story - UPS Inc., Deutsche Post DHL and Unitrans International Corp., a wholly owned unit of AIT Worldwide Logistics - have been involved in discussions with their manufacturing partners months before any vaccine would even be proposed for regulatory approval. In simple terms, a typical domestic vaccine shipment moves from the manufacturer via temperature-controlled truck to a packaging and labeling specialist.
