Monitor temperatures carefully!

Freeze MMR, MMRV, and Varicella at 5º F or below.

Refrigerate all other vaccines at 35º F - 46º F.
(Aim for 40º F to keep temperatures from getting too warm or cold).

Use certified thermometers in accordance with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). If your thermometer uses batteries, replace them every 6 months.

Check and record refrigerator and freezer temperatures twice a day, first thing in the morning and last thing at the close of business.
