Enhanced Refrigerator Temperature Monitoring
The Vax-Shield refrigerator temperature monitoring service saves vaccines through its superior ease of use, pro-active alerts, preventive monitoring and emergency planning. Designed for clinics by clinics, we make it easy for clinics and community pharmacies to eliminate the risk of vaccine loss.
Hundreds of millions of dollars in vaccines are lost each year due to improper refrigeration temperatures because data loggers do not alert clinics staff when there is a vaccine threatening event.
A study of vaccine threatening events in our clients showed that risk of loss occurs far more frequently than commonly believed. The results indicated that the frequency of potential inventory loss was over 50% over a 2.5 year period. We published the study and suggested remediation strategies in our white paper “Vaccine Storage: Incidents, Risk, and Remediation”.
