POST 00973E : VVM USE / INDONESIA Follow-up on Posts 00960E, 00962E, 00964E and 00970E 10 September 2006 _____________________________________ John Haruna (mailto:[email protected]) from Nigeria submits two questions. Previous postings on this topic have already answered the second partially. Any complementary information will be posted later. _____________________________________ Dear All The topic of VVM seems to be a familiar one if you are in the field especially if you are involved with polio eradication, however I want to know 1) why we have not been able to manufacture a VVM or any other label that will monitor freezing instead of the shake test so that it becomes easy for somebody to ascertain whether a vaccine was frozen or not, based on the label just as it is for VVM 2) Which vaccines are VVM2 or 7 or 14, is it an international standard or local to a particular country or continent Thanks Haruna J J Abuja, Nigeria ______________________________________________________________________________ All members of the TechNet21 e-Forum are invited to send comments on any posting or to use the forum to raise a new discussion or request technical information in relation to immunization services.
