Glass bottle shortage may affect the global promotion of new coronavirus vaccine

According to foreign media reports, with the new coronavirus pandemic and the emergence and mass production of vaccines in various countries around the world, there will be a shortage of global vaccine glass bottles, which may affect the global promotion of new coronavirus vaccines. That is to say, even if the new crown vaccine is developed successfully, it may be difficult for billions of people to obtain it.

Although more than 100 teams around the world are competing to develop new coronavirus vaccines, some of which have even been tested in humans, due to the lack of glass vials needed to store vaccines, even if the vaccines are approved for production, they may not be able to be promoted globally immediately.

The novel coronavirus pneumonia vaccine may be approved as early as September, according to 8 reports from the US business insider. However, due to the shortage of glass bottles on the global scale, it is difficult for glass bottle manufacturers to provide enough glass bottles to transfer the vaccine to global immunity.

If this happens, supply chain delays will cause the new coronavirus to continue to spread around the world, even if there is a vaccine, according to business insider analysis.
