TECHNOLOGY FOR LIFE

Cold Chain

02 | 03

In 1974, when the WHO launched the Extended Programme on Immunization (E.P.I.), only 5% of children in

the entire world were vaccinated against the basicst diseases.

Today more children than ever before are being reached with immunization which curently averts an

estimated 2.5 million deaths every year in all age groups from diphteria, tetanus, pertussis (whopping cough),

and measles. ... Nearly 20 % of all deaths in children under 5 is vaccine preventable. But immunization

coverage has still not realized its potential. Vaccine security is fundamental to meeting immunization goals.

For many countries, the delivery of safe injection practices and ensuring the quality of the vaccines is a

significant challenge. A Cold Chain management, when implemented properly, can help overcome this

challenge and enhance the safety and efficiency of an immunization program.

A good Cold Chain is indispensable for reducing vaccine waste and for maximizing the number of children

vaccinated, even in the most deprived countries.

The effectiveness of vaccines is ensured, however, only if the specific storage conditions are maintained

at each level of the Cold Chain, from the manufacturer to the child, through all the phases of storage and

transport.

(Global Immunization data December 2010, WHO and UNICEF homepage)

To answer all recommendations set up by the WHO, Dometic Medical Systems has developed a

comprehensive storage and transport concept to suite all stages of the Cold Chain even under difficult

climatic and technical conditions.

Background information PQS certiﬁcation :

The PQS system (Performance, Quality and Safety)

is a WHO guideline for manufacturers of vaccine

refrigerators, vaccine freezers and water-pack

freezers. The QSS group within WHO’s Department

of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals (IVB)

provides technical advice and support aimed at

achieving a reliable high quality cold chain for the

world’s immunization programmes and publishes

performance specifications and verification

protocols for cold chain and other immunization-

related equipment and devices. These documents

have been developed over the years in consultation

with end-users, with industry and with testing

laboratories and are based on a long-established

and rigorous procedure for evaluating and pre-

qualifying suitable equipment.

By selecting from the list of pre-qualified equipment,

UN procurement agencies, governments and NGOs

can be sure that they are purchasing products that

are fit for purpose.
