Vaccine Temperature Monitoring and Storage Equipment Videos

​​​​​​​​​The Public Health Foundation (PHF), in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has developed an instructional video series on vaccine temperature monitoring and storage equipment. 

It is critical that the immunization workforce be equipped with accurate and updated guidance on monitoring vaccine temperatures and approved vaccine storage equipment. Vaccines stored in unsuitable temperatures can permanently lose potency and increase the risk of patients receiving compromised vaccinations. Vaccines must be stored and handled carefully to ensure vaccine effectiveness, reduce costs associated with discarded vaccines, and avoid patient burden and costs of revaccination. 

These instructional videos are designed to advise medical and administrative immunization support staff about proper vaccine temperature equipment and storage units, and to explain how to utilize a Digital Data Logger (DDL) accurately. The series includes: 

• How to Monitor Vaccine Temperatures 
• What You Need to Know About Vaccine Storage Equipment: Refrigerators, Freezers, and Thermometers
