Are you storing refrigerated vaccines at your surgery? Are you continuously monitoring the temperature of the fridge? Or relying on a nurse to manually take temperature readings from a thermometer inside? Did you know that leaving a fridge door open for 20 minutes might not actually affect the temperature of the vaccines at all? Measuring the internal temperature of a fridge and not the actual vaccine or relying on a human to accurately and regularly record those temperatures could lead to problems – the disposal of perfectly potent vaccines or worse, administering compromised vaccines to patients. Using a vaccine-specific data logger will eliminate all of these problems.
