This is also a great opportunity for us to make those necessary connections between human diseases and our biological collections – both tissue and voucher. If you can get these folks into your collections – even if it just to put vaccine in your freezer – do not give up the opportunity to advocate for biological collections, the specimens they contain that are vectors for human diseases, and the tissues that can be used to track disease over time. A great resource to point them at is the National Academy report on Biological collections that included recommendations on both biological collections and living collections - https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/biological-collections-their-past-present-and-future-contributions-and-options-for-sustaining-them

Museums should consider this an opportunity to both demonstrate existing capacity for this kind of emergency, and a chance to increase capacity. 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.

We have been approached about potential storage of vaccine in our Division of Genomic Resources at the Museum of Southwestern Biology. I think health departments in each state are being asked to identify institutions with ultracold storage capacity.

Great catch Deb and Cody,
Repair responses and contingency plans for failures may also be challenged so this would be a good time to review those plans and procedures and agreements with supply companies.

We (at Princeton University) were warned months ago that there is likely going to be a shortage of -80 freezers for this very reason.

Debra:
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.
Thanks,
Cody

Have folks been giving a thought to the fact that if the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine requires ultra cold storage, there could be a shortage of liquid nitrogen and ultracold freezers on the horizon? Are their contingency plans for the cryo collections in museums around the country - in fact the world?
Cheers,
Deb
