Maintaining the correct temperature of cold chain equipment

It is important to maintain the correct temperature in your cold chain equipment, and to adjust the temperature of your vaccine refrigerator if it is too high or too low.

Why is it important to monitor the temperature of your vaccine refrigerator?

Show answer

All vaccines are heat-sensitive and most are freeze-sensitive. Therefore it is important to monitor the temperature of the refrigerator, so that the vaccines are prevented from becoming too warm or freezing.
