Key points

  • The previous film showed the equipment brought to your home. How each vaccine is stored at the clinic matters more still — by the time you reach a clinic or a maternal and child health centre, the vaccine has already left the fridge.
  • This is the centre’s vaccine room. Only certain staff may enter, and there is a fingerprint lock on the door.
  • Inside are two hospital-grade vaccine fridges. The vaccine temperature is displayed at all times — 5°C in the film — and a passcode is needed to open them.
  • Storing vaccines correctly means not packing them tightly, so that air can circulate.
  • Knowing how the vaccines are kept should make you far easier in your mind, whether you come to the centre or we come to your home.
