National Review of Cold Chain Management Practices
Cold chain refers to the system of transporting and storing vaccine within the recommended temperature range of +2°C to +8°C from the place of their manufacture to the point of vaccine administration. All immunisation providers including general practice, pharmacists, and school based immunisation programmes across New Zealand must maintain the cold chain at all times.
A cold chain failure is where vaccines are compromised or destroyed by becoming frozen, getting too hot or exposed to direct sunlight/fluorescent light. Freezing is the most common reason for vaccine damage and wastage in New Zealand.
A review of Cold Chain services across New Zealand will help inform the update of the National Guidelines for Vaccine Storage and Distribution 2012 as well as indicate if specific resources and training is needed on the cold chain management process especially for school based immunisation programmes around transport of vaccines to non-clinical settings.
