Description:In areas where vaccine supplies are affected by temporary power outages, the guidance developed for providers during the 2003 Northeast Power Outage may be helpful:
â– Do not open freezers and refrigerators until power is restored.
â– Most refrigerated vaccines are relatively stable at room temperature for limited periods of time. The vaccines of most concern are MMR and Varivax, which are sensitive to elevated temperatures.
■Monitor temperatures; don’t discard; don’t administer affected vaccines until you have discussed with public health authorities.
