Pharmaceutical Vaccine Fridges

The use of pharmaceutical vaccine fridges for vaccinations and other pharma products

Whilst several pharmaceutical companies are currently achieving promising results in terms of their COVID-19 vaccine developments, the challenge once a viable and successful vaccine is procured will be to maintain and store the vaccination in the correct environment.

With this in mind, when the vaccine is viable and mass-produced the procurement of suitable and industry-approved vaccine storage containers will be the next challenge for pharma and medical organisations.

This is not a domestic issue but rather a global problem and approved laboratory storage and containers suitable for vaccine storage will become scarce and production waiting will increase.

Although there a considerable variation of products to choose from to meet your pharmaceutical and medical storage needs – in the long term, short term and pandemic vaccines. It is important to select the correct product in alignment with your business needs.

Vaccine Trials

Despite the vaccine trials currently being undertaken, the timescale for when the vaccine will be available is drastically unknown as is the environment it will need to be stored. One certainty which is known, as it is the same for every vaccination, is the need for a temperature-controlled clinical refrigerator where the climate can be monitored and adapted if necessary.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that when storing and handling vaccinations you use a purpose – build or pharmaceutical – grade unit to either freeze or refrigerate them.

These units can either be compact vaccine refrigerators should you only need to handle a limited number of biological samples or a large-scale vaccine storage container should you require holding an extensive amount of stock.
