Is your clinic closing during the holiday break?

Check that you have correct vaccine management and temperature monitoring procedures during clinic closure:

• Perform a vaccine storage self-audit before clinic closure.
• Ensure all staff receiving and storing vaccines have completed the department's cold chain management eLearning modules.
• Review your vaccine management protocol.
• Minimise government supplied vaccine stock in your vaccine refrigerator.
• Download data logger report when clinic reopens to check for any potential cold chain breach events that may have occurred during clinic closure.

Check that all staff know how to manage and report a vaccine cold chain breach.
