Following publication of the original article [1], it was reported that there were two incorrect references to “liquid nitrogen” in the ‘Supply and logistics’ section. These two instances have been replaced with “dry ice” as follows (correction in bold):

  • This was achieved by shipping the vaccine vials in trays secured within thermal containers cooled with dry ice. This unusual requirement necessitated training of physicians and pharmacists in the safe handling of dry ice and the support of the Swiss military pharmacy for logistics and distribution.

The original article has been updated.
