All medicine and vaccine storage need to meet national guidance and regulatory requirements. All will require specific storage conditions, this may be at room temperature, refrigerated or frozen, and must be monitored to ensure items remain within range specified.
Medicines are stored under conditions that assure their quality and for many products that may mean refrigeration and it is essential that the fridges used are designed for the storage of medicines and conform to current guidance.
Vaccines are biological substances that may lose their effectiveness quickly or become potentially dangerous if they become too hot or too cold at any time, especially during transport and storage. Maintaining the cold chain ensures that vaccines are transported and stored according to the manufacturer’s recommended temperature range of +2°C to +8 °C until the point of administration.
All vaccines must be refrigerated and protected from light. They must not be frozen. The efficacy of vaccines depends on their temperature being kept within the range 2-8°C from manufacturer to patient.
