In November 2021 the CDC announced that several frozen vials labeled "Smallpox" were discovered in a freezer in a Merck & Co. vaccine research facility at Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. [18] [19] [20] The vials were determined to contain the vaccinia virus, used in making the vaccine, not the variola virus, which causes smallpox. [21]
Avian flu virus can last indefinitely at a temperature dozens of degrees below freezing, as is found in the northernmost areas that migratory birds frequent. [citation needed] Heat kills H5N1 (i.e. inactivates the virus). Influenza A viruses can survive: Over 30 days at 0 °C (32.0 °F) (over one month at freezing temperature)
Not freeze sensitive as most of the vaccines need to be stored frozen. Have good stability at room temperature. PS-PVC Liquid or Lyophilized AlOH3/None 2° - 8 °C Some of the vaccines are not freeze sensitive and appear to be relatively stable. Polio [38] Live attenuated virus Liquid None -20° - 8 °C Can be frozen and stable at -20 °C.
People typically get monkeypox when they come into contact with the virus from an animal, a person, or materials contaminated with the virus, according to the CDC. The virus can then enter the ...

Kazanchyan shares four tips for keeping your freezer at a safe temperature: Keep your freezer full: Your freezer should be full for optimal efficiency, but it also needs good circulation throughout.
Viral transport medium (VTM) is a solution used to preserve virus specimens after collection so that they can be transported and analysed in a laboratory at a later time. Unless stored in an ultra low temperature freezer or in liquid nitrogen, virus samples, and especially RNA virus samples, are prone to degradation. However, such cooling ...
Within a specific kingdom ( Plantae, Animalia, Fungi etc) the localization of viruses colonizing the host can vary: Some human viruses, for example, HIV, colonizes only the immune system, while influenza viruses on the other hand can colonize either the upper respiratory tract or the lower respiratory tract depending on the type (human ...
