Coming from Israel, What I'm writing is about Pfizer but related to the article above.

Since the Pfizer vaccine is much more complex to maintain. Once you unfreeze it, there's a time window for it to be usable.

In addition to many other factors "modified" by the Israeli HMO, an interesting one related to the above is the allowance of an extra dose from each bottle. The Pfizer bottle were tested as 5 dozes per bottle. The HMO here allowed 6 dozes.

Iirc they also did that in germany and the result wasn't 20% more shots, but less bottles supplied ;-)

Yup, Pfizer had signed contract on number of vaccine shots, not number of bottles supplied. So Pfizer is technically correct, but it's still a jerk move from their side.
