I don't know whether the hospital would have a super cold freezer or not. The Moderna vaccine does not have to be kept that cold.

I know Pfizer is manufacturing the vaccine in multiple locations, including several in the US as a big deal was made locally of it shipping out of Michigan.
From The Boston Business Journal:
"A Pfizer manufacturing site in Andover will be among locations to produce the vaccine, along with sites in Saint Louis, Missouri, Kalamazoo, Michigan, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, and Puurs, Belgium, according to a statement from Pfizer."

Yes, I saw a couple of news stories showing trucks leaving a Pfizer plant here in the US, not sure which plant, but definitely here in the US.
I wonder what is happening with vaccines for the French side though? Getting it for the Dutch side is of limited utility if the French side doesn't get it also.

I agree it should be a joint campaign with both sides of the island vaccinating their people. A quick search shows that poorer Caribbean islands will get the jab first through COVAX/ PAHO. The distribution to other islands have been funded and in place months ago. The French are actually not so in favor of getting the jab and Pres. Macron has recovered from COVID-19. I hope other airlines don’t use this promotion... Jab n Go https://www.rt.com/news/510650-ryanair-promote-summer-flights/
