Post00301 VACCINE FREEZING: REFERENCES 28 November 2000
CONTENTS
1. VACCINE FREEZING: REFERENCES
This list of reference documents on vaccine freezing was kindly posted by
Debbie Kristensen, PATH.
The problem of vaccine freezing has been around since the earliest days of
the Expanded Program on Immunization.
This list of references is not complete, and does not include the Technet'96
discussion paper on vaccine freezing in colder climates by a number of us.
See the Technet ftp site:
ftp://ftp.acithn.uq.edu.au/technet/1-ClickHereForTECHNETfiles/
and click on the folder: VAX-Freeze
* There are probably other reports and data available with many of our
colleagues in the field! Please add to the list of references!

Subject: RE: Freezing vax in 1996

Dear Allan:
I am enclosing the list of references. We extracted it from the interactive
database, so it isn't formatted nicely. But, better to throw it out there
now so that it can be used.
Cold chain analysis, training, and temperature monitoring (using whatever
means are available) are probably the keys to this hidden problem.
A magic, global solution is unlikely; we are not going to see a freeze
indicator integrated with a VVM in the near future. I think that this issue
needs to be tackled on a country-by-country basis.
All the best,
Debbie
p.s. We have a new, updated database (54 references) on the risks of
freezing vaccines.
