Article Synopsis
  • The challenge of maintaining cold temperatures for vaccines in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to high temperatures and unreliable electricity limits vaccine coverage.
  • Despite investments in vaccine thermostability, no products have been commercialized, indicating a need for a comprehensive analysis of its value.
  • Recommendations include defining the thermostability range for existing vaccines, setting upfront thermostability goals for new vaccines, and improving cold chain infrastructure for better cost-efficiency and coverage.
