“It is a hot and humid day during Intensified
Pulse Polio Immunization. During mid-day the
vaccinators find that all the Ice Packs have
melted and the VVMs of OPV vials in the Vaccine
Carrier are in stage II (this is usually the case
when Ice Packs cannot be properly frozen
overnight due to insufficient & erratic electric
supply). While continuing administration of OPV
from one vial, the workers shift remaining vials
to a domestic refrigerator available near the
Booth. This practice is continued till the end of
the day maintaining VVMs do not cross stage IIâ€
