Why this initiative was important?
The COVID-19 crisis has shaken the world, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Vaccination could be the only reliable and cost-effective way to slow the virus’s spread and bring the pandemic to an end.
As a result, several pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions are working to develop a vaccine that is safe and effective. Several vaccines are currently in phase three clinical trials, with two of them receiving final approval.
Now that a vaccine is on the horizon, attention is turning to how it will be delivered. Such vaccines cannot be stored in the management of temperature is improper.
It is a proud and kind moment for Toyota to come up with this. Although many countries receive vaccine assistance from international agencies such as UNICEF GAVI And the Vaccine Alliance, approximately 20% of the volume supplied (equivalent to JPY 40 billion per year) is discarded per year because it becomes unusable due to temperature changes during transportation when distributing to hospitals and clinics within the respective countries.
The vaccine is a necessity to save the lives of people. In this situation, we can’t afford such wastage of vaccines due to the constraint of temperature. This step by Toyota will ensure that vaccination is not wasted and delivered on time.
