They are using the Moderna vaccine. Although it requires super cold conditions for shipment in the field is can be stored for a week or two in a standard medical freezer. So I doubt that they are loosing very much.

This is different than the Pfizer vaccine which requires super cold condition not only for shipment but also in the field. It can only last for a couple of hours outside of super cold conditions.
