Walk-in Cold Room for Vaccine
Most vaccines need to be stored at a temperature range of 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F), with some requiring freezing conditions (below -15°C).
Our reliable vaccine cold storage solutions have the following features:
- Precise Thermoregulation
- Uniform Airflow & Ventilation
- Shelving and Storage Systems
- Prevent Cross-Contamination
- Backup Power
- Adhere to WHO and CDC Guidelines
Types of Our Walk-in Vaccine Cold Room
Chiller Room (2°C to 8°C)
- Maintains a temperature between 2°C and 8°C.
- Designed to store vaccines that require refrigeration but not freezing, such as most routine vaccines (e.g., hepatitis B, DTP, flu vaccines).
- Ensures stability and effectiveness of vaccines without causing damage or degradation.
Freezer Room (below -15°C)
- Maintains temperatures below -15°C.
- Used for storing vaccines that require freezing temperatures, such as certain COVID-19 vaccines, varicella, and some viral vaccines.
- Prevents vaccine degradation and maintains their potency by freezing them at low temperatures.
Cold Storage Solutions for Different Vaccines
Vaccines can be classified by their composition into several categories based on the type of components used to stimulate an immune response. Here are the 6 common vaccine types and their cold storage solutions.
Inactivated (Killed) Vaccines
- Examples like Hepatitis A, Rabies, Polio (IPV), Influenza (Inactivated).
- Made by killing the virus or bacteria, and temperature fluctuations can cause degradation, reducing their effectiveness.
- Typically stored at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F).
- Humidity should be maintained below 60%.
Live Attenuated Vaccines
- Examples like Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), Varicella, Yellow Fever, Oral Polio (OPV), BCG.
- Highly sensitive to heat, their efficacy can be compromised if exposed to improper storage conditions.
- -20°C to -70°C (-4°F to -94°F) for long-term storage; 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for short-term storage.
- 50% to 70% humidity range.
Subunit, Recombinant, or Conjugate Vaccines
- Examples like Hepatitis B, HPV, Pneumococcal, Meningococcal, Diphtheria, Pertussis.
- Made from parts of the virus or bacteria, such as proteins or sugars, and are often less heat-stable than whole-virus vaccines.
- Typically stored at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F).
- 50% to 70% humidity range.
Toxoid Vaccines
- Examples like Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis vaccines (DTP).
- Use inactivated toxins to stimulate immunity, and are highly sensitive to temperature changes.
- Stored at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F).
- Controlled humidity between 50% to 60%.
DNA Vaccines
- Examples like Zika Virus DNA Vaccine (experimental), Some cancer immunotherapies.
- Contain genetically modified DNA, are sensitive to heat and moisture.
- Typically stored at -20°C to -70°C (-4°F to -94°F).
- Relative humidity of 40% to 60%.
mRNA Vaccines
- Examples like Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.
- mRNA vaccines are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations and degradation.
- Usually stored at -20°C to -70°C (-4°F to -94°F).
- Humidity should be kept between 40% and 50%.
Vaccine Cold Room Applications
