The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that by the end of September there had really been as many as 53 million Americans contract the deadly bug — just under eight times the confirmed cases reported at the time. Of those, the CDC believes about 45 million were sick at some point and about 2.4 million were hospitalized.

The dry ice is needed to keep the vaccines cold, as they require extreme cold temps for transport and storage.
