COVID-19 vaccination is an important tool to help us get back to normal. Studies show that COVID-19 vaccines are effective at keeping you from getting COVID-19. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine will also help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19.  Learn more about the benefits of getting vaccinated.

An effective plan for proper vaccine storage can help prepare your healthcare facility to meet the public health needs of your community efficiently and safely. Follett refrigerators and freezers have been tested and certified to meet the new NSF/ANSI 456 voluntary standard for vaccine storage.

The safe storage of vaccines is a crucial component in protecting patients against this virus. Vaccines require storage within a defined temperature range, and even slight departures from recommended storage temperatures will reduce potency, which could result in inadequate immune response. Each time vaccine is exposed to excessive heat or cold, the potency deteriorates; and once potency is lost, it can never be restored. The worst case is that patients unknowingly receive a vaccine that provides no protection at all. 

Follett medical-grade refrigerators and freezers are engineered to maintain the precise temperature control you need and have been tested and certified to meet the new NSF/ANSI 456 voluntary standard for vaccine storage.
