A guide to the best practices and industry standards when handling temperature sensitive vaccines. The challenge in vaccine handling lies in its sensitivities. Because vaccines are temperature-sensitive and light-sensitive, the process of transporting and storing them is more challenging than other types of supply chains. Temperature deviations are the last Read more…
Freeze sensitive vaccines, what can be done to protect and monitor them from freezing conditions during storage and transportation? There are many vaccines that are sensitive to temperature changes, and it is commonly known they should be kept refrigerated between 2°C to 8°C. (35°F to 46°F) However, sometimes in an Read more…
In this document, we will detail the best practices for vaccine handling, storage and transportation. It is important that all temperature-sensitive vaccines are kept between at a temperature between 2°C – 8°C (35°F – 46°F). Freeze sensitive vaccines should also be protected from freezing. This ensures the efficacy of the Read more…
Vaccines are sensitive to temperature excursions, but not as most people may think. A common assumption is that they must be kept cool and elevated temperatures are the problem. While it is true, increased temperatures will degrade the vaccine efficacy, it is much less damaging than freezing. Many drugs and Read more…
