Study Notes
Vaccine Storage and Handling
- Vaccines require specific temperature ranges for storage to ensure their effectiveness.
- Oral polio vaccine must be stored at -15 to -25°C to maintain potency.
- DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus) and Hepatitis B vaccines can be stored at +2 to +8°C.
- Temperature monitoring is crucial in preserving vaccine quality during storage and transport.
- FEFO (First Expired, First Out) inventory management is essential for effective vaccine stock handling.
- Cold chain equipment is necessary for keeping vaccines within the required temperature ranges during handling and transportation.
- Nurses play a vital role in administering vaccines according to established guidelines.
- Maintaining accurate immunization records in the community ensures proper tracking of vaccine distribution and administration.
