Warehouse Temperature Mapping : Temperature mapping refers to the mapping and documentation of temperature ranges, fluctuations and differences in a controlled space, such cold-storage units, warehouses, laboratories, etc. In warehouses, fridges and freezers temperature variations can be expected near air vents, doors, packing areas etc.
In the case of vaccines, heat may speed up a decline in their potency, and freezing may cause increased reactogenicity and loss of potency. Failure to monitor and record temperatures accurately can mean that health professionals may be unaware of these potential effects on medicines, and of course their recipients.
