To ensure the quality of a biological product, it must be stored and transported in a defined cold chain state.
The same should be true for the new coronavirus vaccine.
The Vaccine Administration Law, the Code of Practice for the Storage and Transportation of Vaccines, and the Code of Practice for Preventive Vaccination all have specific provisions on the cold chain requirements for the storage and transportation of vaccines.
When vaccines are transported, vaccine transportation companies should regularly monitor and record the temperature during transportation to ensure that the vaccines are in the prescribed temperature environment.
When the vaccine is received, the receiving unit should ask for and check the temperature monitoring records of the transportation process.
Vaccine storage process, disease control agencies and vaccination units using thermometers or automatic temperature recorders to store vaccines in the refrigerator temperature monitoring, the morning and afternoon every day to measure the temperature of 1 (at intervals of not less than 6 hours), and fill in the cold chain equipment temperature record sheet.
Vaccine use process, vaccination units using refrigerators, freezers (packages) to store vaccines, in the storage, access to vaccines should be closed in a timely manner refrigerators, freezers (packages) door/lid, and as far as possible to minimize the number of times to open the cold storage equipment.
The relevant units should strictly comply with the above requirements of each link, in order to make the vaccine in the whole cold chain state, the quality of the vaccine can be guaranteed.
