The Russian corona vaccine Sputnik V needs to be kept at minus 18 degrees Celsius. Luxembourg-based company B Medical System will set up several hundred vaccine freezers across the country for Dr Reddy’s.
Under the agreement, freezers of B Medical Systems will be installed in all major hospitals of the country this week.
Luxembourg-based medical refrigeration equipment company B Medical Systems has joined hands with Dr Reddy’s Lab to provide a reliable cold storage solution to introduce Sputnik V vaccines on a pan-India basis. . Under this tie-up, the company will set up several hundred vaccine freezers across the country to introduce the Sputnik V vaccine at the national level.
The statement said that Sputnik V is an adenovirus viral vector vaccine. It needs to be kept at a temperature below minus 18 degree Celsius. In such a situation, the cold storage chain for this vaccine should be strong enough. B Medical Systems said, “Under this tie-up, it will provide its vaccine freezers. In these, the vaccine can be stored at a lower temperature like -25 ° C. These units will be sent through air cargo from Luxembourg to meet the immediate needs. Under the agreement, freezers of B Medical Systems will be placed in all major hospital chains in the country this week.
Focus on more cold storage soon
Jesal Doshi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of B Medical Systems said that we are extremely proud to partner with Dr Reddy’s in introducing the Sputnik V vaccine. We are working with Dr. Reddy’s to put in place a highly reliable cold storage infrastructure for this.
Vaccination starts in Gurugram
The Russian vaccine Sputnik-V has started in Gurugram. This vaccine is being administered to the general public at the Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Gurugram. At the same time, the vaccine is taking time to reach various private hospitals in Delhi-NCR. Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories of India is marketing this vaccine in this country.
Two different viruses have been used
Sputnik V vaccine is different from all vaccines. This is because two different viruses have been used in it. That is, it will take two different doses to make this vaccine effective. While this is not the case in other vaccines. It is believed that the delay is due to attempts to give both doses of the Sputnik V vaccine at the same time.
Initially Sputnik will be available in 9 cities
Dr Reddy’s Laboratory had told last month that at present it will be available only in private hospitals and once its production starts locally, there may be some reduction in the price. Initially it will be available in 9 major cities of the country. These nine cities include Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Visakhapatnam, Baddi, Kolhapur, Miryalaguda, Kolkata and Delhi.
