At R Courier, we’re happy to note that Ontario continues to expand its vaccine rollout significantly. Recently, the government announced that adults over the age of 18 living in any of the high-risk postal codes would be able to book their shots through its online portal.
According to Health Minister Christine Elliott, the increase in vaccine supply was a boon for the province’s fast-tracked inoculation efforts: “Continuing to focus on getting vaccines in the arms of those most at risk will help to stop the spread of COVID-19 in these communities, protect our hospital capacity and save lives.”
People living with high-risk health conditions such as obesity, developmental disabilities, and immunosuppression are among those expected to be prioritized for inoculation. At R Courier — we hope that the country will achieve herd immunity very soon, especially with reports of thousands of new cases every day and many unfortunate deaths.
We try to do our part by offering a broad range of medical delivery services across and outside of Canada. Here are some ways we help in the fight against COVID-19:
- We have been quickly, reliably, and safely delivering COVID-19 vaccines in Ottawa and Toronto.
- We deliver Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to hospitals, clinics, and businesses to clients that need them.
- We serve Public Health Toronto, hospitals including Sunnybrook and all Scarborough hospitals with fast medical parcel services.
- We securely deliver novel coronavirus test samples to health care facilities to ensure people stay safe.
Of course, COVID-19 vaccines must be transported with extreme caution. For example, here are the recommendations from the Ministry of Health:
- Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine: The internal temperature of the unit should be stabilized between -80C to -60C prior to stocking the vaccine. Recommended storage temperature is -70C.
- Moderna COVID-19 vaccine: The internal temperature of the unit should be stabilized at -25C to -15C prior to stocking the vaccine. Recommended storage temperature is -20C.
