What\'s in a name? Selecting a term for \'storing and transporting vaccines outside of the 2-8°C range\'
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2009 4:44 pm
The issues are to be looked differently. The longevity of the thermostable vaccine v/s routine vaccines that can survive higher temperatures and being effective for say 30 days, etc. In field practice some thing else happens - the most dangerous thawing - frequent heating and cooling which destroys the vaccine in a shorter period. Temperatures exposed at various places could be different. So temperature recommendations prescribed are optimal ones and shelf-life is described. What is probably discussed as I understand is the stability despite some amount of thawing that could protect the vaccine.
