Contingency Plan Continuation

1. In case of mechanical failure of the refrigerator, document the time and temperature, contact a technician for repair, and immediately transfer vaccines to an insulated container with ice packs and temperature monitoring devices. 2. If repair takes more than 2 days, transfer vaccines to another refrigerator or district hospital. 3. In case of power cut, document time and temperature, use generators if possible or contact the power company, and transfer vaccines if power will be out for over 10 hours using an insulated container with ice packs and temperature monitoring devices.

______________ the cold chain trained technician to check up and or repair the
refrigerator.
3. Transfer vaccines immediately to an insulated container or its equivalent with
appropriate ice packs and temperature devices and record temperature.
i. Pre-chill the insulated container by placing ice packs and temperature
devices and record temperature.
ii. Prepare the temperature monitoring devices and place the vaccines by
placing the freeze sensitive vaccines in the middle or away from the ice
packs and heat sensitive vaccines near the ice packs.
4. If the repair will take more than 2 days, transfer the vaccine to another
refrigerator (solar refrigerator) or District Hospital.
a. The EPI Coordinator will transport the vaccines. In the absence of the
latter, the alternate will take charge.
IN CASE OF POWER CUT

sign on the refrigerator.
5. If the power will not be restored after 10 hours.
a. Transfer vaccines to an insulated container or its equivalent with appropriate
ice packs and temperature devices and record temperature.

i. Pre-chill the insulated container by placing ice packs inside for at


least 1 hour or as the temperature reaches between +2 to +8 C.
