That is exactly the reason why the audit for administering the Pfizer vaccine in India failed. Unfortunately, remotest corners of the country there isn't even electricity, forget refrigerators. Hence, it is useless to think that the vaccine can be administered there.
Not only that even in our cities it'll be an absolute hassle to administer the Pfizer vaccine mainly because of the same reason, the non-viable temperature that needs to be achieved for it's storage and continued functioning.
Congrats for getting vaccinated @fChk!
