Good morning, I have a question about the storage of the vaccine If I bought the vaccine ENGERIX-B at 9.30 and I drove the car about 1.5 hours and it was given to the fridge because I will be vaccinated in three days is the vaccine safe?

When transporting the vaccine, special packaging should be used, which guarantees us the so-called "cold supply chain" and thus guarantees the quality and safety of the vaccine (e.g. termotorba, polystyrene box with a cooling cartridge or thermos). The thermal bag should be offered by the pharmacist dispensing the vaccine from the pharmacy. Something like this: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/87383/apteo-care-torebka-termoizolacyjna-wielokrotnego-uzytku-pojemnik/apteki It is possible to transport the vaccine without special packaging, if the air temperature does not exceed 25 degrees C, the transportation time is not more than 60 minutes. If the vaccine is stored improperly, it must be disposed of. Article you might be interested in: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-przechowywac-leki
