• Description:
  General Information: Refer to CDC's Vaccine Storage and Handling Toolkit for best practices for vaccine storage and handling.
  
  Storage Basics: Store vaccine preferably in a purpose-built refrigerator or freezer.
  
  Use a digital data logger to monitor temperature of the storage unit. Check and record storage unit temperatures daily.
  
  What to do when vaccine is received: • Unpack vaccine immediately upon arrival at the clinic. • Check the cold chain monitor, a device used to monitor vaccine temperatures during transport, for any indication of a temperature excursion during transit. • Check the expiration date on the carton. • Store vaccine in the original package in order to protect from light.
  
  Important note: All vaccine, whether received refrigerated or frozen, is originally frozen from the manufacturer. If you receive refrigerated vaccine, it is thawed vaccine. Do NOT refreeze. Thawed vaccine must be used within 8 weeks from thawing.
