Vaccine Carrier

Short range: With a minimum cold life of 48 hours. Long range: With a minimum cold life of 96 hours. Vaccine carriers are insulated containers that, when lined with coolant packs, keep vaccines and diluents cold during transportation. This small carrier is also packed with ice packs to keep the vaccine at a low temperature. However, they do not stay cold for as long as cold boxes, at most 36–48 hours. It is generally used for transporting from a health facility to outreach sites. What are the most common storage conditions? The vast majority of vaccines should be stored at between 2-8?C in a refrigerator.
