KUALA LUMPUR, July 5  — DHL Express today successfully delivered the United States (US) government\u2019s donation of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The logistics provider said the arrival of around 1,000,000 doses came as part of a recent US commitment to assist with recovery efforts worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DHL Express Asia Pacific chief executive officer Ken Lee said the shipment was made possible via the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) program that aimed\u00a0to accelerate global equitable access to immunization against the pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are deeply honoured by the trust that our customers have placed in us and I\u2019m incredibly proud that the team has yet again stepped up to successfully deliver another batch of COVID-19 vaccines to Malaysia.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs DHL Express continues to leverage our global network and strong medical logistics expertise to ensure that these life-saving vaccines arrive safely and promptly, we must also remind ourselves of the need for collaboration among various parties and countries to manage this public health crisis effectively,\u201d he said in a statement today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DHL Express arranged for the collection of the vaccines from facilities in the US before it was airlifted from its Cincinnati Hub to the DHL Express Subang Gateway, where it would be distributed to designated locations in Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It said that from door-to-door, the journey spanned only four days in complete compliance with stringent handling and storage requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, DHL Express Malaysia and Brunei managing director Julian Neo said to date, DHL had transported more than 300 million doses of approved vaccines worldwide, five million of which were to Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe shipment today marks another milestone in combatting the spread of COVID-19 and contributing to the country\u2019s recovery. In keeping with our mandate of connecting people and improving lives, we are proud to continue playing an active role in seeking a safe, new normal for the businesses and communities we serve,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 9,000 life sciences and healthcare specialists work across DHL\u2019s dedicated global network so that pharmaceutical, medical devices, clinical trials and research organisations, wholesalers and distributors, as well as hospitals and healthcare providers are connected across the value chain and through digitalisation, from clinical trials to point of care, and every step in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DHL\u2019s portfolio for the healthcare industry includes 150-plus pharmacists, over 20 clinical trials depots, more than 100 certified stations, 160-plus GDP (good distribution practices)-qualified warehouses, 15-plus GMP (good manufacturing practices)-certified sites, over 135 medical express sites, and a time-definite international express network covering over 220 countries and territories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a global scale, logistics providers are challenged to establish medical supply chain rapidly to deliver vaccines of unprecedented amount of more than 10 billion doses worldwide — also in regions with less developed logistics infrastructures, where about 3 billion people live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To provide global coverage over the next two years, DHL estimated in its vaccine logistics whitepaper that up to 200,000 pallet shippers and 15 million cooling boxes as well as 15,000 flights would be required across the various supply chain setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
