Its a wonderful begining and since costs have come down to what was
mentioned earlier. I am sure the vaccine storage problem in remote
places will be addressed adequately
And also my comments to make this avaialble for commercial domestic
market , profits from the domestic market can further subsidize the
immunization program.When used for perishable items there will be
huge savings for the farmers and increased revenue for the
agriculture sector workers who can invest and spend more

The principle and intention are excellent but unfortunately reality
may be quite different. This issue is much broader than the field of
vaccination itself. However what do you think? Indeed I believe that
even at a much lowered price, poor farmers can never afford such a
refrigerator, even a conventional one. This benefits only wealthier
ones as usual and they have access to electricity anyway. Wouldn't it
be more opportune to expand access to electricity nowadays being
cautious however on the way to produce it? There would be significant
scale economies that would benefit everybody, countries first. I am
waiting for your comments.
