Ensure temperature logs are maintained for each cooler or refrigeration unit Check the package insert to see what the manufacturer's recommendations are for the temperature range vaccine should be kept Make sure vaccine coming in from delivery is at proper temperature and has a temperature log sheet along with it. Make a note on the log what time it arrived at your facility and that you checked it.

If a cooler does not seem to be holding at the proper temperature, it may be too full or it may be being opened too often. You can add more ice packs, or take a smaller amount and put it in a different cooler for vaccine runners to take out of and fill that cooler up from a larger one. Sometimes, ice packs can be added to refrigeration units. If vaccine is out of temperature for more than two hours, consult with your local health department. They may want you to discard the vaccine. It is vital that you check the temperature every hour and log the temperature!!!
