EPI Cold Chain Vaccine Storage Guidelines by PEDRO M. MAGADAN is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) Vaccines must be stored within specific temperature ranges to maintain potency - most are stored between 2-8°C, while some like measles can be stored at -15°C to -25°C or 2°C to 8°C. 2) Proper storage temperature is crucial as vaccines are sensitive to heat, cold, light and expire on a set date. Improper storage can damage vaccines and reduce their effectiveness. 3) Calculating vaccine needs involves estimating the target population, number of doses required per person, wastage allowance, and supply
