There was a moment when even those who have never wondered how vaccines should be stored received a very precise answer.
We are obviously talking about the winter between 2020 and 2021, when vaccines for Covid-19 were distributed all over the world and terms such as "cold chain" and "vaccine freezers" became very topical.
But is it the same for all vaccines?
Have there always been vaccine freezers?
How are things today?
We will try to explain it in this short article.
Which Vaccines Are Stored in the Freezer?
Like many drugs, vaccines need to be stored at very precise temperatures in order not to lose their properties.
For traditional vaccines, this temperature is around 0, more precisely in a range between 2° and -8°.
As can be seen from this table, the vast majority of traditional vaccines must be stored in that temperature range, with very few exceptions and considering some particular specifications such as the possibility of being frozen.
These temperatures are those reached by the common refrigerators we have at home and by laboratory refrigerators, their professional equivalent used in all hospitals, pharmacies and doctor's offices.
