Vaccines need to be stored between 35°F and 45°F at all times and maintaining consistency within this temperature range is critical. Do not allow a vaccine to freeze. Due to changes in the structure of the adjuvant, frozen killed vaccines can have extreme and even deadly consequences if injected. Extreme heat and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can also denature both MLF and killed vaccines, so extra precautions should be taken.
INSIGHTS: From junior 4-Hers to seasoned cowpokes, the reminders here can be new information, as well as affirmations that folks are doing things right.
