The breakthrough vaccine is produced in the US, Germany and Belgium. It must be stored below -70◦C and kept in sealed containers. However, dry ice will be used to preserve the temperature-sensitive vaccine whilst in transportation and storage. Dry ice can be a very serious hazard in a small, confined space that is not well-ventilated. As dry ice melts it turns into carbon dioxide gas, which can create dangerous levels of CO2 in the local atmosphere.
Here at Shawcity we have seen a noticeable increase in fit testing enquiries, with particular interest in the availability and sustainability of the adapters used during the fit testing process. Different fit testing technologies use different adapter designs and we’re pleased that yet another benefit of Quantifit and controlled negative pressure (CNP) fit testing is the quality and durability of the adapters we offer our customers.
