POST 00673E : FROM HFC/CFC TO HC-BASED REFRIGERATION Follow-up on Posts 00513E, 00634E, 00638E, 00644E, 00648E and 00654E 13 May 2004 ____________________________ Søren Spanner (mailto:[email protected]) from UNICEF makes these short comments following the last posting on the topic. ____________________________ In reply to mr. Abdoulaye Oumar Djigo's contribution, which I think is good, I would like to point out the following: • There has been many many years with virtually no training at all in EPI-cold chain. • We should utilize this chance to re-introduce EPI-cold chain training. That would give us the chance to educate nurses and technicians in proper new vaccine storage and use of new and old cold chain equipment. • I also believe that would give a chance to spread the word DON'T FREEZE YOUR VACCINES and a chance to explain/educate staff on HOW NOT TO.
