VVM is the only tool among all time temperature indicators that is available at any time in the process of distribution and at the time a vaccine is administered indicating whether the vaccine has been exposed to a combination of excessive heat over time and whether it is likely to have been damaged. It clearly indicates to health workers whether a vaccine can be used.
