How to inject?

[JellyTots2009]

I get the gist of the injections so if my question seems silly please feel free to correct me but no nasty comments.

I heard that the vaccine (not sure which one) has to be stored at -70degrees, so how will a human body cope with a vaccine that cold entering your body?

Can it be slightly warmed first? Do we just have to deal with it? What will happen to people if they get a reaction to such a cold liquid entering the body?

I haven't read anything about my question so I am stumped.

Any experts or people who know this answer, please comment

I heard Matt Hancock on Radio 4 saying that it could be stored at normal fridge temperature for 48 hours so I assume that’s what they’ll do.

It's not injected at -70, just needs to be stored at -70.

Thanks for the comments. I didn't know it could be stored at a warmer temp. That's certainly better .

It surely won't be liquid at -70 !

It's defrosted before injecting. It's then diluted before it's used.

It will be defrosted first, don't worry!

(And it's not a stupid question at all - these practical questions are at the heart of why this particular vaccine is difficult to distribute.)

Monday's edition of, "How to Vaccinate the World" (Radio 4, available from all good podcast providers) has lots of useful practical information.

So glad you asked this😂 I have been worried about the same thing . Thank you
