Officials with U-W Health say they have ultra-cold storage capabilities.
That’s a big reason the Madison facility is getting ready to serve as a central storage facility for the distribution of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.
It will partner with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services in the distribution of the vaccine to other health and long-term care facilities in the region.
Even though those at the top of the list could start getting the vaccine this month, it will still be several months before it’s available to the general public.
