How to monitor temperatures in the vaccine supply chain. / Comment contrôler la température dans la chaîne d’approvisionnement en vaccins.

Author(s) : WHO, UNICEF, EVM

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

This module describes the correct use of available temperature monitoring devices for routine monitoring of cold chain equipment performance, temperature mapping of cold chain equipment and implementation of studies to assess supply chain temperatures. To ensure good storage and distribution practices, effective, well-managed temperature monitoring and record-keeping procedures are crucial. These procedures help to ensure that: vaccine quality is maintained throughout the vaccine supply chain; vaccine is not wasted due to exposure to heat or freezing temperatures at fixed storage locations or during transport; cold chain equipment performs according to recommended standards; and when problems arise, they are rapidly detected and corrective action is taken.
