The 5 Boroughs NHS Foundation Trust Occupational Health Department is using Tinytag temperature data loggers to monitor departmental vaccine fridges, and cool boxes used to transport vaccines taken off site. Temperature monitoring is vital to ensure vaccines remain effective. Many cannot remain at room temperature for long before they have to be discarded, and there is a huge cost implication if this occurs. The Trust is SEQOHS (Safe, Effective,Quality Occupational Health Service) accredited, and using the loggers helps it to meet the recommendations within the accreditation standards for cold chain and vaccine storage. There are two Tinytag View 2 data loggers in use, one in each vaccine fridge.
