We all take for granted the benefits vaccines have because we don\u2019t have to deal with the tragic disabilities brought on by these diseases any more thanks to the benefits of vaccinations. When a vaccine is given, the last thing most people are thinking about is \u201cwhat if it doesn\u2019t work\u201d.\u00a0 We all assume that it will, and we will be protected. We take for granted the technology involved in getting the vaccine to the dispensary and the impact it has on the vaccine\u2019s effectiveness.<\/p>\n<h2>Technology\u2019s role in protecting vaccines<\/h2>\n<p>How does technology play a role in protecting our vaccines? During the time a vaccine travels to the dispensary, the vaccine is at risk of losing potency if not handled appropriately. It actually can become less potent and rendered ineffective if it is not kept at its ideal temperature throughout the cold chain. Thanks to the IoT and new technologies in monitoring devices, we are able to examine a record of the temperature levels the vaccines are kept throughout the entire cold chain to ensure they stay within regulated ranges for efficacy. Once the vaccines arrive at the dispensary, the monitoring is continued to ensure that the refrigeration systems used to store them are at the appropriate temperature level. Can you imagine the impact of giving your child an ineffective vaccine; one not kept refrigerated at appropriate temperature ranges for its entire cold chain journey?<\/p>\n<h2>Using data loggers to monitor temperature ranges of vaccines<\/h2>\n<p>Guidelines for vaccine storage and handling has evolved over the years. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has requirements in place and recommends data loggers be used to monitor the temperature range of all vaccines. The CDC put together an informative <a title=\"CDC Toolkit PDF\" href=\"https:\/\/pim-resources.coleparmer.com\/data-sheet\/cdc-vaccine-storage-and-handling-toolkit.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Toolkit<\/a> that you can reference for guidance. When you need\u00a0<a title=\"Traceable Products for VFC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coleparmer.com\/vaccines-for-children-program\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">data loggers (DDLs) for vaccine storage<\/a>\u00a0to meet\u00a0CDC recommendations, look to Cole-Parmer, Digi-Sense\u00ae and Traceable\u00ae.
