If you can’t sell hot dogs, give people medicine.
One of the most important steps in vaccinating people against coronavirus is actually giving people the vaccine. This can be difficult due to the different vaccines that need to be kept under very specific conditions to remain effective, making it difficult to transport the vaccine.
For one country, however, the solution to this problem is apparently hot dog trucks.
Bulgaria delivered its first batch of vaccine using hot dog trucks, reports the New York Post. The vehicles were chosen because the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine needs to be stored at -94 degrees.
Bulgaria’s health minister reportedly defended the plan, saying the hot dog trucks met all the requirements to transport the drug.
The plan was received with amusement on social media, where an image of hot dogs bearing the medical company’s brand went viral.

Not everyone was amused, however.
Desislava Nikolova, health editor of the Bulgarian newspaper Capital Weekly, complained: “The Bulgarian authorities have known for some time exactly when the first vaccines were coming. I am perplexed why the government needed to use a hot dog truck instead of a licensed vehicle for the distribution of thermolabile medicines. “
