    I think it will be Russia. I believe they are already starting to offer it although not yet completing their trials.

    So the US is slower to make the decision due to FDA restrictions? Hmmm. I wonder if very many Russian people will get the vaccine or if they are suspicious of it as Americans are? I guess we will find out. Thank you for your reply Durdle and Happy Saturday to you! :)

    Given that it has to be stored at sub-arctic temperature, will it not cause freezer burn?

    That's what I don't get. Requiring to be stored at such an unusually low temperature would limit it I think. Unless medical facilities all have storage facilities that go that low. It just seems kinda weird. I wonder if any other vaccine ever required exceedingly low storage temperatures?. What happens if the vaccine gets too hot? Do they do harm or do nothing to the body? Inquiring minds wanna know these things. Thank you for your reply R and Happy Saturday to thee and thine! :)
