POST 00695E : APPROACHES TO ELIMINATING FREEZING : HEALTH WORKERS' VIEWS
Follow-up on Post 00684E and 00693E
9 July 2004
_______________________________
Robert Davis (mailto:[email protected]) from UNICEF/ESARO shares results of
an opinion poll carried among Tanzanian health workers on approaches to
prevent vaccine freezing. The document is attached to this message, to
retain the table format and colors. Indeed Robert wrote in red in the first
table ideas he considers notable according to his analysis and copied in
the second table.
_______________________________
At a recent meeting of district EPI staff in Arusha, 400 Tanzanian staff
were asked to put down their ideas on how best to avoid freezing in freeze
sensitive vaccines. There were 275 responses (some persons gave more than
one response). The group came up with 42 ideas. Except for the wrapping of
vaccines in paper, which is not protective, the ideas were generally sound.
In the first table, all 42 are included. In the second, there is a
selection of especially notable ideas, some mentioned only once among the
more than 200 responses. The relatively new idea of conditioning icepacks
(variously described as "have icepacks sweat before packing" or "condition
the icepacks before use" is already mentioned in almost 1/10th of the
responses.
