Dan Brigden started a new discussion, Updates to the WHO Temperature Mapping Tool for cold chain equipment and dry storesThe ‘Cold chain equipment and dry store temperature mapping tool’ is a tool for mapping temperatures in various types of cold chain equipment and dry stores and is available in official United Nations (UN) languages. Version 10.0 was released in January 2026 and includes various performance improvements and bug fixes reported by users.
https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/cold-chain-equipment-and-dry-store-temperature-mapping-tool
The tool works with the following six data loggers:
- LogTag TRIX-8 (E06/006)
- Q-Tag CLm doc LR (E06/016)
- Libero Ti1-L (E06/024)
- Honeywell BluTag360 (E06/079)
- LogTag ULTRID-16 (E006/012)
- NT Pbro (E006/074)
The User Guide for the tool is available here:

Dan Brigden started a new discussion, Happy World Immunization Week(end)!Sharing the following from WHO's World Immunization Week 2026 website.
Vaccines have long been one of the most powerful tools in public health. Over the past 50 years, vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives – not by accident, but because ordinary people made the decision to protect themselves, their children and their communities from diseases like measles, diphtheria, pertussis, polio, and rotavirus.
Today, newer vaccines against malaria, HPV, cholera, dengue, meningitis, RSV, Ebola, and mpox are saving even more lives, and helping people at every stage of life live longer and healthier thanks to scientific advancements.
During World Immunization Week, let’s show the world that some family traditions are worth passing on. Under the theme, “For every generation, vaccines work”, World Immunization Week will promote how vaccines have safely protected people, families, and communities for generations – and continue to safeguard our future.
By building trust,...

Dan Brigden started a new discussion, National immunization policies and facility SOPs for vaccine managementDear colleagues, I’ve created a repository of national immunization policies and SOPs for vaccine management at facility level. This comes from what is available online, combined with publications that have been shared with me.
https://www.technet-21.org/en/topics/programme-management/sops
Findings from EVM assessments have revealed that many countries lack policies or SOPs for immunization operations. The purpose of creating this repository is to provide countries with source material (inspiration and guidance) when creating or updating their own policies and SOPs. Last year, UNICEF and WHO conducted a workshop in Bangkok for 11 SEARO countries to help address this gap and another is planned in AFRO later this year.
For now, I have only included published documents written in English but would love to include other languages in future. I have not included strategic planning documents (such as the NIS) but could do if there is demand.
If you are aware of other national policies...

If you are aware of other national policies or manuals/handbooks/guides for staff not already listed, please share them with me so I can add them. I will be maintaining and improving this page throughout the year. Feel free to share this page with your networks.
