• Guidance for Vaccine and Pharmaceutical Logistics and Distribution

IATA released the first Edition of the “Guidance for Vaccine and Pharmaceutical Logistics and Distribution” document on the IATA website https://www.iata.org/en/programs/cargo/ and included in the press release, available at https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/pr/2020-11-16-01/ 

The document provides a set of considerations and awareness on large scale handling, transport and distribution of vaccines, pharmaceutical, life science and medical products and how the airfreight industry, government and authorities can best prepare themselves while identify how the existing procedures can be efficiently adapted to ensure the fast and safe movement of products using a risk-based approach. This document will be subject to regular review and revision as additional information and best practices are made available by the various stakeholders. IATA are expecting further comments from international organizations that will be included in Edition 2.
