Semi-automatic COVID-19 vaccine preparation for upscaling of vaccination: a descriptive study

Abstract

Vaccines are used on a large scale for prevention of disease. Preparing vaccines for administration can be a time consuming process. To increase efficacy of vaccine administration, the Vaxtractor was designed in January 2021. With the Vaxtractor, the desired volume of vaccine is drawn up automatically in syringes from two vials of vaccine simultaneously. We examined the quality of COVID-19 vaccines prepared with the Vaxtractor.
