Vaccine Storage Temperatures Come into Question

Vaccines rendered ineffective or questionable can undermine public trust. Ensuring proper cold chain transport and storage is a key piece of the puzzle.

As the measles outbreak continues in California and 21 other states, over 750 cases of the infectious disease and five deaths have been reported in South Sudan as of press time. According to preliminary World Health Organization (WHO) data, “measles increased by around 300% globally in the first three months of 2019, compared to the same time last year, with sizeable rises in all regions of the world.”

The timing is interesting as the WHO’s World Immunization Week just wrapped April 30. The theme this year was #VaccinesWork.

Infectious disease outbreaks are a multi-faceted problem. Politics, public information, infrastructure and scientific causes can all play a role, so there’s no magic bullet to solve these crises.

While the anti-vaxxer movement is certainly to blame for spreading misinformation in some spheres, one area that strikes a chord with the healthcare packaging community is the improper storage of vaccines.
