How Dubai Helps Distribute COVID-19 Vaccines Around the World

How the Dubai vaccine pipeline works

1. 1

   Understand the alliance behind it

   DVLA combines the expertise and global reach of Emirates airline with DP World's worldwide network of ports, along with the infrastructure of Dubai Airports and the International Humanitarian City to distribute vaccines worldwide. Think of it as several Dubai giants pooling their networks into one delivery route.

   See how it backs global fairness

   DVLA extends support to the World Health Organisation's COVAX initiative and its efforts to equitably distribute two billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines in 2021. The goal is that lower-income countries are not left waiting while wealthier ones are served first.

3. 3

   Store the doses safely in Dubai

   Through this alliance, Dubai is able to store a large volume of vaccines at a time, and bring in and distribute vaccines to any point around the world within 48 hours. Emirates SkyCargo's vaccine hub in Dubai South allows the air cargo carrier to fly in vaccines from manufacturing sites globally and to store and prepare shipments for regional and global distribution.

   Keep them at the right temperature

   Emirates SkyCentral DWC has over 4,000 square metres of temperature controlled GDP (Good Distribution Practices) certified dedicated pharma storage area allowing large scale storage and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. That certified cold space is what keeps doses viable from arrival to departure.

   Move them under constant watch

   Hope Consortium transports the COVID-19 vaccines with the help of SkyCell's hybrid containers that are protected through an IoT (Internet of Things) monitoring service. Sensors track each shipment so problems are caught before doses spoil.
