Egypt has received 64 refrigerators for storing the Pfizer vaccine from UNICEF, which can accommodate thousands of doses according to an announcement by Health Minister Hala Zayed. The Pfizer vaccine can be stored in traditional fridges for up to 28 days, she said, adding that according to producers should be stored at -70C. During a press conference with the US ambassador to announce solidarity in the provision of vaccines, Zayed explained that the Pfizer vaccine can be used to vaccinate school students under the age of 18. “There is no entry to the university campus without obtaining coronavirus vaccines,” she warned. According to Zayed, only 35 percent of university students have received the vaccine so far.
