Boise Company Monitors Vaccine Cold Storage Nationwide

Idaho hospitals have installed special new freezers to keep Pfizer’s new coronavirus vaccines at -94°F (-70°C). The vaccine storage temperature must be carefully monitored and maintained, and a Boise-based pharmaceutical company is playing a key role in this effort—here in Idaho, and nationwide.

Audrey Regan is a newsroom intern at Boise State Public Radio. Audrey is returning to their hometown of Boise after completing a year of national service with AmeriCorps St. Louis and graduating from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. During that time, Audrey worked for both their university's student newspaper and radio station, and now they're excited to fuse those skills and to reconnect with the Boise community along the way.
