If your vaccine refrigerator stops working, first protect the vaccines and then repair the refrigerator. Protecting the vaccines Move the vaccines to another place until the refrigerator is repaired.

Always keep a freezer indicator with the freeze-sensitive vaccines to monitor eventual freezing. Check the power, gas or kerosene supply.

If there is no power, make other arrangements (e.g. Store the vaccine in a household refrigerator) until power is restored. If there is no gas or kerosene, get it as soon as possible. If a lack of power, gas or kerosene is not the problem, repair the refrigerator or report to your repair technician or supervisor.

Record the breakdown on the daily temperature recording chart. Note: Concerning the routine maintenance and the servicing of refrigerators, WHO technical manuals exist for each kind of refrigerator.

Vaccine carriers and cold boxes must be well dried after their use. If they are left wet with their lids closed, they will become mouldy. Mould may affect the seal of the cold boxes and vaccine carriers. If possible, store cold boxes and vaccine carriers with the lid open, when not being used. Knocks and sunlight can cause cracks in the walls and lids of cold boxes and vaccine carriers. If this happens the vaccines inside will be exposed to heat.

If a cold box or vaccine carrier wall has a small crack you may be able to repair it with adhesive tape until you can get an undamaged one.
