The idea that they would be thawing and freezing the vaccines for every shot doesn't seem plausible.
As far as I can tell, cold storage is only needed for long term storage of the mRNA vaccines. They'll both last for days at normal refridgeration temperatures, and the Moderna one is fine at room temperature for 12 hours.

- ulfw 6y agoObviously no one is freezing the vials after they've been opened. Not sure why OP suggested that...
- ashtonkem 6y agoIt's what I heard from Molly Jong-Fast's description of her participation in phase 3 trials. I guess that the re-freezing might be unique to that, and not part of the regular administration procedure.
