What is PortaVax?

PortaVax is a reusable vaccine carrier designed to deliver ultra-low temperature vaccines anywhere in the world.

Our goal is to make vaccines more portable. PortaVax will improve vaccine access in smaller low-income communities in hard-to-reach rural areas by improving the vaccine cold chain.

We hope to prove a solution for vaccines providers and aid workers to overcome the challenges of maintaining the cold chain in hot climates and through long transit times.


Ideal Delivery Volume

We've designed PortaVax to accommodate a relatively smaller number of vaccines, ideal for rural distribution to smaller towns allowing the entire payload to be administered within the multi-day storage duration.

Low Cost

PortaVax is an incredibly cost effectively solution for delivering vaccines, costing less than a quarter of a cent per vaccine. (Unit cost)

Sustainable Production

PortaVax will be made with up to 80% recycled plastic, and is designed to be environmentally friendly.
