  • Storage & Handling

Under what conditions may we transport COVID-19 vaccines? Is transport of a partial vial or predrawn syringe ever permissible?

Although routine transportation of vaccines to different facilities is not generally recommended, there are times when this is necessary. CDC recommends transporting COVID-19 vaccine in unopened vials or manufacturer-filled syringes (MFS) and always with a continuous temperature monitoring device to ensure adherence to authorized storage times and temperatures. See the product package insert or EUA Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers for details on permissible conditions for transport.
