"The Covid-19 vaccine trial designed Pfizer Inc, and its German partner BioNTechSE may allow them to find whether theri shot works before their fastest-moving rivals.
The companies plan a first look after a mere 32 cornovirus infections have accumulated in their massive 44,000-person trial.
Pfizer has also given itself four chances to get a preliminary result, before reaching the final goal of 164."

So distribution isn't going to be easy. Most pharmacies and doctor's offices aren't equipped with ultra low temperature freezers.
