Above: An ultra-low temperature vaccine transportation device designed to transport life-saving mRNA vaccines to rural, hard-to-reach communities.
HUG Solutions is focused on developing a reusable device that extends the effective storage time for ultra-low temperature vaccines during last-mile transportation. Our product, PortaVax, will improve vaccine access in smaller low-income communities in hard-to-reach rural areas by improving the vaccine cold chain.
