Vaccine storage is the process of safely storing vaccines. Its primary concern is maintaining vaccines at proper temperatures to preserve their integrity. Regulatory compliant storage helps to ensure that vaccines can safely and effectively immunize patients when administered.
The majority of vaccines must be stored within a temperature range of +2°C to +8°C (+36°F to +46°F). This temperature range is commonly known as “refrigerated,” and care must be taken at the lower ends of the range since freezing temperatures can cause irreversible reactions in many vaccines. This is especially true for vaccines containing aluminum adjuvants.
Advisory and regulatory bodies like the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and World Health Organization (WHO) have devised vaccine storage standards which define the types of storage used, the procedures that should be followed, necessary temperature monitoring, and required documentation.
