According to an announcement by the South African Government, vaccination in South Africa will take a three-phase approach that begins with the most vulnerable in the population. The South African Government's target is to vaccinate 67% of the population by the end of 2021, which will allow the country to achieve herd immunity. In response to the government's request, Transnet, a company from South Africa has launched Transvaco, a new health train designed to bring Covid-19 vaccines to remote communities and places with limited healthcare resources.


The train follows a special rail-based healthcare service that has been in operation in South Africa since 1994. There are nine carriages with features such as a kitchen, dining area, storage facilities, security coach, and power car. Two accommodation coaches house healthcare personnel and other train staff, while the dedicated vaccination coach features individual consulting rooms. Such multi-functional carriages make mobile vaccination more convenient and user-friendly, while Haier Biomedical’s Ultra Low Temperature Freezer DW-86W420J, the effective cold chain solution for the entire "vaccine train", safeguards 108,000 vials of temperature-sensitive Covid-19 vaccines, providing the entire "vaccine train" with a safe and secure environment for vaccination. The specialized train is a great way to protect the community and achieve the desired vaccination outcome set by the government.


The DW-86W420J is a horizontal ultra-low temperature freezer with a three-layer sealed structure, the unit is manufactured with three independent inner doors with superior thermal insulation to ensure good temperature uniformity while reducing energy consumption; in addition, the hydrocarbon refrigeration system design is energy-saving and environmentally friendly; while at the same time, it can be connected to the back-up refrigeration system, which has strong flexibility and practicality.
Onboard the South African "vaccine train", Haier Biomedical is proud to be able to provide safe and reliable cold chain storage requirements for vaccines to assist the South African Covid-19 vaccination program.
