Commercial Cold Storage (CCS) has put its money where its mouth is and donated a specialised fridge to the Mitchells Plain Hospital to ensure that Covid-19 vaccinations are kept at the correct temperature.

The fridge will allow the public hospital to store vaccines at temperatures lower than what their current fridge could reach. “Something as simple as a fridge has helped us enable access of vaccinations to the Mitchells Plain community since we can now safely store vaccine stock on-site,” said hospital CEO Evan Swart.

“It was a natural fit for us to answer the call and provide the hospital and community with the best equipment available in our collective fight against the Covid-19 pandemic,” said CCS executive director Ina Botha.
