Please join us for a Public Health Unit (PHU) update on Cold Chain and an invitation to join the PHN’s Immunisation Community of Practice. The 'cold chain' is the system of transporting and storing vaccines within the temperature range of +2°C and +8°C. Cold chain begins from the time the vaccine is manufactured, continues through storage at the NSW State Vaccine Centre and ends when the vaccine is administered.
Jody Stephenson from the PHU Immunisation Team will provide you with an update on NSW Health’s Cold Chain requirements and current resources that are available to ensure that your practice has robust Cold Chain Management systems in place.
