8,000 jumbo jets will be needed to deliver the corona vaccine worldwide

Montreal, Ta. Thursday, September 10, 2020

Alexander Juliak, head of The International Air Transport Association (IATA), said delivering vaccines worldwide would be the biggest challenge of the century. At least 8000 jumbo jets will be needed to deliver the vaccine. The IATA chief said efforts have been made in this direction from now on.

Finding the corona vaccine is as much a challenge as delivering it worldwide. According to the IATA chief, at least 8000 jumbo jets will be needed in all the countries of the world if the vaccine is to be delivered on time. The vaccine will reach almost all countries when the Boeing 747 type 8000 aircraft will deliver the vaccine.

The vaccine is not ready yet, but health agencies, pharma companies and airlines have outlined how the vaccine will be delivered to the corners of the world when it is ready. Attempts will be made to get the medicine delivered as soon as it is produced. According to the IATA, delivering emergency medicine to all countries of the world will be the biggest transport challenge of this century.

Thus, a lot of items come in the cargo easily, but the task of delivering the medicine is more difficult and challenging than other items. The temperature should be 2.8 સે C when the vaccine is delivered. Some vaccines even have to maintain a temperature of zero degrees. Because of this many planes cannot deliver the vaccine.

Vaccine delivery does not seem to work in aircraft that do not have the ability to carry temperatures below minus. According to the IATA, it is more difficult to deliver to Asian and African countries. The head of the association also appealed to the governments of various countries to make adequate arrangements and advance preparations.
