Pfizer has approved the Ministry of Health to reduce the number of vaccines in each "tray" • Meaning: It will also be possible to vaccinate in small clinics and in less than a thousand
First publication:
Corona vaccines can also be given in small clinics and in small quantities out of a thousand.
In a conversation that took place today (Monday) between representatives of Pfizer and officials of the Ministry of Health, the company gave permission to split its vaccine "trays" that are sufficient to vaccinate 975 people into small quantities that will allow this for 50 people.
This solved one of the major logistical challenges of the vaccination campaign.
Aside from the harsh cooling conditions at minus 70 degrees and a ban on shaking the dishes, Pfizer vaccines come in "trays" containing 195 vials, each of which is enough to vaccinate five people.
In light of this and in light of the short validity (five days in "normal" refrigeration), the health funds were vaccinated in several dozen or hundreds of central branches and even in "vaccination centers."

It now appears that the issue has been resolved.
"The company has approved splitting the 'trays' into a package of 10, which is enough to vaccinate 50 people," updates Dr. Jan Miskin, an expert in family medicine and infectious diseases.
"In such a situation we could send two nurses into a locality, which is more important and meaningful than just vaccinating in large centers. Opening a compound at Teddy Stadium and vaccinating those parked in parking lots is not wisdom. Their death. "
