Vaccine Logistics
TRANSPORTATION EXPERTISE
While clinical trial logistics is complex for all types of drug therapies, vaccines pose unique supply chain challenges. As the world learned by following the ongoing development of the COVID-19 vaccine global supply chain, even minor fluctuations in temperature at any time throughout transit can impact a vaccine’s stability. The results are potentially devastating – to patients in need as well as financially for sponsors and their partners. Our more than 40 years of experience transporting every type of medication during all phases of clinical trials includes having proudly supported the clinical development of several COVID-19 vaccines – helping manage logistics from the clinic to the commercial markets. For you that means QuickSTAT has the expertise to protect the integrity of your vaccine shipments no matter where in the world they are going.
