but I know our Health Director & Deputy Health Director here in Philly said this past Tuesday during a presser, that they were being directed differently - with the Pfizer vaccine going to the hospital systems here because they have the proper -70C freezers to handle it and the Moderna vaccine has been going to other facilities like pharmacies & clinics, etc.
However when it comes to something involving tight temperature range specs like we have with these vaccines, it means that the those freezers need to be properly calibrated and checked regularly and if there are facilities who aren't used to doing that (generally only handling routine "refrigerated" vaccines), then they will find themselves SOL.
Sadly I expect this is probably going to be happening quite a bit.
