Abstract
The development, manufacture, and deployment of new vaccine technologies to combat SARS-CoV-2 enabled an unparalleled rapid response to the emerging health threat. However, the unequal global distribution of these vaccines highlighted a major gap in existing thermotolerance profiles and cold chain infrastructure that needs to be addressed to maximize their global health impact.
