I thought we were constrained by supply chain issues? Even if a vaccine was approved that didn't require ultra-low temperature storage, we need glass vials, etc.

Most of the supplies are very common. We make enough glass vials to contain all covid vaccines many times over - they are used for many other medical processes. There are supply chain issues with some of the chemicals needed for mRNA vaccines. I'm sure other vaccines have a different set of chemicals in short supply. Over all, the supplies that apply to all vaccines are well supplied.
