Andy: You are totally correct. This may be the best opportunity ever to make cryo-collections relevant.

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 <https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/biological-collections-their-past-present-and-future-contributions-and-options-for-sustaining-them>

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 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.
