Moderna Vaccine Arrives At UPS Worldport - WFPL

Two truckloads of the Moderna vaccine arrived in Louisville Sunday morning at UPS Worldport.

Each semi had hundreds of boxes of the vaccine, according to a pool report. One of the first batch of packages will be delivered locally while UPS will transport the rest elsewhere.

UPS spokesperson Jim Mayer said both this vaccine and the Pfizer vaccine that started shipping last week are temperature-controlled, and UPS is familiar with handling critical medical deliveries. But these packages are different because they’re closely monitored by the Health Care Command Center.

“The command center gets information from the trackers in each box, showing temperatures and any other parameters,” he said.
