    Cold chain and logistics management is important for ensuring vaccine potency from manufacturing to administration. It involves healthcare providers using and maintaining storage and transport equipment, and following procedures for vaccine distribution and use. Vaccines like polio, measles, and hepatitis A need to be stored between 2-8 degrees Celsius. Vaccine vial monitors indicate heat exposure over time. Expiry dates specify the last month a vaccine can be used. Multi-dose vials of polio, measles, and hepatitis A vaccines can be used over four weeks if stored properly and not expired. Vaccine stock levels should be managed at various administrative levels.
