Vaccine Storage and Handling also known as “The Cold Chain” refers to the storage of vaccines between +2° C to +8° C from the time a vaccine is manufactured, to the time it is administered. The purpose is to maintain vaccine potency and minimize wastage. Administering vaccines that lack potency due to a cold chain failure can result in a poor immune response and lack of protection for the client. Certain vaccines such as live virus vaccines are particularly labile to temperature abuse.
