About the advantages of the AstraZeneca vaccine, the sources noted that it is easy to store, as it requires a temperature between two and eight degrees Celsius, which is the temperature of regular refrigerators, unlike other vaccines, which can only be stored in the long term at very low temperatures reaching 70 degrees below zero.
