Storing vaccine will be an extended - but likely not a permanent - obligation. Scaling up facilities and equipment to support vaccine distribution efforts could produce a useful legacy for biodiversity holdings.<div class=""><br class=""><div class="">

That is a good question! I suspect it depends on plant capacity if you are reliant on a vendor. We use Messer as our bulk LN2 vendor - they do a lot of work with medical facilities - and I have not received any information from them regarding this particular
issue. However, I definitely will be asking that question.</p>
