How are Vaccines Stored?

Many vaccines have highly specific storage requirements that if not met can reduce their potency significantly, even rendering them completely ineffective. Vaccines must be stored correctly from the moment they are manufactured until they are ultimately administered, and this is the shared responsibility of the manufacturer, distributor, and healthcare provider. What are the most common storage conditions? The vast majority of vaccines should be stored at between 2-8⁰C in a refrigerator, with a preferred average of 5⁰C, though some should remain frozen in a range between -15 to -50⁰C. Additionally, many should be protected from light and are packaged appropriately, as UV-light can damage them. Many live-virus vaccines can tolerate freezing temperatures and rapidly deteriorate once defrosted, while inactivated vaccines more commonly require stable temperatures of 2-8⁰C and are damaged at temperature extremes. The commonly administered measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine can be stored either frozen or refrigerated, while the MMRV vaccine ...

Why do Vaccines need to be Refrigerated?

Vaccines must be stored in specific conditions to avoid degradation, usually defined specifically by the manufacturer. Across the stages of manufacture, distribution, storage, and ultimately administration, these conditions must be adhered to, and this process is known as the cold chain. Should the cold chain be broken at any point during transport or storage, via exposure to temperate extremes, then the potency of the vaccine risks being reduced, or the vaccine is even rendered completely ineffective. The vast majority of vaccines must be refrigerated at between 2-8⁰C, with a preferred average of 5⁰C with minimal fluctuations. Specially designed lab refrigerators are usually used for this purpose, which has comparatively minimal temperature fluctuation across days and seasons, do not present any temperature extremes on any interior surface, and may bear an external temperature display that automatically logs the internal temperature at particular time intervals. Many live vaccines tolerate freezing, and depending on the ...

BioNTech & InstaDeep launch AI innovation lab for next-generation vaccines and biopharmaceuticals

BioNTech and InstaDeep are creating a joint AI innovation lab in Europe to develop novel immunotherapies. “We see a significant opportunity at the intersection of AI and immunology by computational design of new precision immunotherapies,” says BioNTech. One of the key research areas will be the development of next generation vaccines and biopharmaceuticals – including for COVID-19 – as well as for the treatment of cancer and prevention and therapy of infectious diseases. The partnership between Mainz-headquarted BioNTech (which is collaborating with Pfizer on one of the leading mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine candidates) and London-based InstaDeep will create a joint AI innovation lab between the two cities. The lab will advance a portfolio of initiatives across drug discovery and design, protein engineering, manufacturing and supply chain optimization. Founded in 2014, InstaDeep has already developed collaborations in the global AI ecosystem: such as Google DeepMind, Nvidia and Intel. It was nominated by CB ...

What ingredients are in vaccines?

Vaccines are a central player in our fight against infectious diseases. What components are commonly found in vaccines, and what is their purpose? In this Special Feature article, we find out. Why do some vaccines have a long list of components? Many people will be familiar with the concept that a vaccine against a particular virus will contain a small amount of the pathogen or a part of it, at least. When we receive the vaccine, the viral interloper triggers our immune system to launch a series of events that leave us protected against the pathogen in the future. But a glance at the ingredients in common vaccines reveals a long list of other components, the roles of which might not seem so clear cut. What is the purpose of the likes of gelatin, thimerosal, and Polysorbate 80? And why do some vaccines contain aluminum? In this Special Feature article, ...

World Immunization Week 2019

Theme: #VaccinesWork World Immunization Week – celebrated in the last week of April – aims to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease. Immunization saves millions of lives every year and is widely recognized as one of the world’s most successful and cost-effective health interventions. Yet, there are still nearly 20 million unvaccinated and under-vaccinated children in the world today. The theme this year is Protected Together: Vaccines Work!, and the campaign will celebrate Vaccine Heroes from around the world – from parents and community members to health workers and innovators – who help ensure we are all protected through the power of vaccines. Vast progress but fragile gains In 2017, the number of children immunized – 116.2 million – was the highest ever reported. Since 2010, 113 countries have introduced new vaccines, and more than 20 million additional children have been vaccinated. But despite gains, all ...
