Nearly two thousand doses of Moderna's coronavirus vaccine have been destroyed in the United States due to a janitor's mistake. It is reported by ABC News TV channel.
The incident took place in Boston. It is reported that the janitor accidentally unplugged the refrigerator while cleaning. At the same time, it is reported that the refrigerator was in a safe place and an alarm was installed on it, which for some reason did not work. Due to the temperature difference, 1.9 thousand doses of the drug became unusable.
The TV channel notes that the Moderna vaccine must be kept frozen or refrigerated at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius for 30 days.
Earlier it was reported that an employee of a medical center in the United States deliberately spoiled more than five hundred doses of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine. He took 57 packages of vaccine out of the refrigerator and left them in obviously inappropriate conditions. The medicine had to be thrown away.
