Vaccine Centres

Kelsius provides automated, wireless vaccine temperature monitoring systems. Our solution ensures full cold chain compliance, reduces risk of spoilage, and real-time alerts, providing complete peace of mind and audit-ready digital records.

Kelsius provides an advanced wireless monitoring solution to ensure vaccines are stored under optimal conditions at all times. The Kelsius CoolCheck system uses smart wireless sensors to continuously monitor critical parameters such as temperature and humidity across all vaccine storage units.

How Kelsius Ensures Safe and Compliant Vaccine Storage

If any readings fall outside of your defined thresholds, real-time alerts are triggered via automated email, voice call, or push notification, allowing your team to take immediate corrective action and prevent stock loss. All data is automatically logged and securely stored on the Kelsius Web Portal, offering full visibility and audit-ready digital records.

With 24/7 access from any web-enabled device, authorised personnel can remotely monitor vaccine fridges, freezers, and storage environments – whether on-site or off-site. The system supports compliance with NHS, HPRA, WHO and CDC temperature storage guidelines, helping healthcare providers meet public health standards with confidence.

Vaccine Centres FAQs

Vaccine Temperature Monitoring & Storage FAQs

Why is a Vaccine Cold Chain Essential?

Vaccines must be stored at within specified temperatures to remain effective. From manufacture to administration, maintaining cold chain integrity is critical. Strict guidelines from the NHS and HPRA regulators ensure vaccines are kept within safe temperature ranges, protecting efficacy, preventing waste, and safeguarding patient health. CoolCheck helps you meet these standards with full visibility and control.

What Happens If Vaccines Are Stored Incorrectly?

Improperly stored vaccines can lose potency, meaning patients may not develop full immunity, leaving them unprotected and increasing the risk of disease outbreaks. Ineffective doses may require revaccination, leading to delays, added costs, and reduced trust in public health efforts. In some cases, it may also increase the risk of adverse reactions. Cold chain compliance is essential to protect patients and maintain vaccine effectiveness.

How Often Should Vaccine Temperatures Be Monitored?

During the development of vaccines, stability testing will have been conducted to determine the effects of temperature and other environmental factors on the product. The stability data associated with the product will include the recommended temperature range and information around permissible time out of that ideal range. Frequent measurement of temperature should be carried out in line with the product guidelines to ensure no excursions take place.

CoolCheck offers continuous 24/7 monitoring, eliminating manual checks and ensuring full compliance. Real-time alerts notify staff of any temperature issues, protecting vaccine potency and patient safety at all times.

How are Vaccine Fridge Temperatures monitored?

Traditionally, vaccine fridge temperatures are recorded using manual checks and temperature data loggers which require visual inspection and periodic manual downloading of data records. These processes can be time consuming and may reveal that temperature excursions have occurred and gone undetected for a period of time, leading to deviation reports and CAPA activities. With Kelsius CoolCheck, visual checks and manual downloading are no longer required. Our wireless sensors automatically monitor and log temperatures 24/7, with real-time alerts and digital records that support full compliance with HPRA, HSE, and NHS guidelines, helping you protect vaccine efficacy, simplify inspections and reduce operational effort.

Which Vaccines Are Most Heat Sensitive?

Many commonly administered vaccines are highly sensitive to heat and health authorities advise that these must be stored strictly between +2°C and +8°C to remain effective. Exposure to temperatures outside this range can reduce potency and compromise patient protection.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), examples of heat-sensitive vaccines include:

Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV)
Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR)
Varicella (Chickenpox)
Rotavirus (RV1 and RV5)
Hepatitis A & B
Influenza (varies by formulation)
Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTaP)
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

CoolCheck provides continuous monitoring and instant alerts to prevent temperature excursions, ensuring vaccines remain safe, effective, and compliant with HPRA and NHS guidelines.

Which Vaccines Require Ultra-Cold Temperature Monitoring?

Some vaccines are highly sensitive and require ultra-cold storage to maintain their potency. These include:

Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine – stored between -80°C and -60°C
Ebola Vaccine (Ervebo) – also stored between -80°C and -60°C

These vaccines must be kept in specialist ultra-low temperature freezers, with continuous monitoring and real-time alerts to prevent excursions. Kelsius offers precision monitoring solutions to support compliance and safeguard the efficacy of ultra-cold vaccines.

How Often Should Vaccine Thermometers Be Calibrated?

It is recommended that vaccine thermometers and temperature monitoring systems should be calibrated at least annually to ensure accurate readings and maintain at the cold chain compliance standards.

Devices should also be recalibrated immediately if they are dropped, damaged, or show signs of malfunction. For continuous monitoring, always use a calibrated digital data logger (DDL) with a valid certificate of calibration.

With Kelsius, annual calibration is available as part of your service, giving you peace of mind and audit-ready assurance year-round.

Why Is Remote Temperature Monitoring for Vaccines Important?

Vaccines are temperature-sensitive, and exposure to temperatures outside the manufacturer specifications can compromise their potency. Remote temperature monitoring ensures vaccines are continuously protected, reducing waste, safeguarding patient health, and supporting compliance.
