Temperature, Shipping and distribution Pfizer
There are lots of questions about this and Pfizer has a fair fact sheet about it.
What it basically says id that Pfizer will hand off the packaging to UPS and FedEx to get to the states. Their packaging is good for 10 days and will be temperature monitored by internet enabled thermometers.
Once these packages arrive they can be stored in those ultra low temperature freezers for 6 months, or kept in the shipping containers for 30 days as long as the Dry Ice is replaced every days, or kept in a refrigerator below 45 degrees for 5 days.
You can see that with a rapid use vaccine these time constraints are really not all that bad.
