Vaccines to be more closely monitored
Print Edition
THE Shanghai Municipal Center for Diseases Control and Prevention said yesterday it plans to extend the scope of a temperature monitoring system used in the transportation of vaccines.
“Vaccines are generally moved twice: first from their place of manufacture to a central depot in Shanghai, and from there to any of more than 400 hospitals across the city,” said Sun Xiaodong, head of the center’s immunization program.
On the first part of the journey, the vaccines are linked to a temperature monitoring system, but on the second they are not, he said.
“So we are planning to extend the real-time monitoring system to the whole journey,” he said.
At the moment, the center has only the word of manufacturers and couriers — in the form of paper documents — that the vaccines were kept at the right temperature while in transit, he said.
A similar problem applies at the vaccines’ destinations, as real-time monitoring systems are in place at only 70 percent of the hospitals that store them, he said.
“The others record the temperature twice a day, which is in line with the national standard, but we want to take things one step further.”
