Monitoring school vaccine temperatures during transport
Timestrip Temperature Solutions
The Service was looking for a simple solution to monitor the vaccine temperature in the vaccine transportation carriers that the teams use to take the vaccines to the schools on a daily basis. It is imperative that vaccines remain between 2°C and 8°C in order to maintain the efficacy and product license.
Teams use electric Labcold Portable Vaccine Carriers and pharmaceutical-grade vaccine carriers. They wanted a visual tool that was cost-effective that they would be able to review at the end of the vaccination session that would tell them if the temperature increased above 8°C, and if the temperature went above 25°C, for how long that had occurred.

Benefits of Timestrip PLUS used in school vaccination programmes
In each vaccine carrier, they used two Timestrip PLUS products: Timestrip PLUS, (TP 065) was used to indicate if the temperature in the vaccine carriers went above 8°C. They would then examine Timestrip PLUS (TP 217) to establish if the temperature exceeded 25°C, and if so, for how long.
Feedback was good from the teams who used them because they did not need to be read by, or synced with, a computer.
