With Danby producing over 500,000 freezers a year they believe they can help with the need for medical freezers when the COVID-19 vaccine goes to market. Danby has experience making medical fridges with the Danby Health lineup, a medical-grade refrigerator that is equipped to store temperature-sensitive goods.

However, the current Danby Health lineup is not equipped to reach the low temperatures required for the new vaccines, so a new freezer lineup is in development. Danby’s first hyper-cold line of freezers will come in a variety of sizes and specs to meet the demand for the new vaccine storage requirements. The freezers won’t be available right away, projected to be available in approximately 120 days, which should align with the timing of the demand.

“We are pulling out all the stops. It’s a top priority of the company,” said Estill. “This can make a very meaningful impact in the world. A vaccine is no good if it can’t be distributed or stored.”

Danby has 4 models we will be offering from their Danby Health line. The new low-temperature freezers are feature-rich to maintain the integrity of the vaccine as much as possible:
