Additionally, all coronavirus vaccine shipments transported by the carrier will be marked with the mandatory handling code SHL (Save Human Life).
Senior vice president of sales and distribution GertJan Roelands, said: “Understandably, at this exceptional time, a great deal of attention is devoted to combating the coronavirus crisis and everything that comes with it, such as the transportation of vaccines.
