accines are temperature-sensitive biological preparations, 2-8°C or cold
chain period were the appropriate range. The change of the temperature
during transport system might be effect to vaccines quality assurance.
This descriptive study was to analyze the data temperature of vaccine in
cold chain system. We aimed to find the factor that effected to the change
of vaccine’s temperature before used, such as area of vaccine transport,
seasonal and type of health care unit. Temperature data of DPT- HB vaccine
that used in National Health Security Office (NHSO) region 1, included 8
provinces in northern part of Thailand were analyzed. The temperature
data were collected by computerized data logger and analyzed by SPSS for
window version 17.0 and logtag analyzer program. The result showed that,
from 323 health care units in fiscal year 2011, DPT-HB vaccine temperature
had lower than 2°C at 86.9% and upper than 8°C at 90.4%. Type of health care
unit and seasonal didn’t affect to vaccine temperature control, significantly.
In fiscal year 2012, DPT-HB vaccine temperature from 1,399 health care units
showed that lower than 2°C at 78.5% and upper than 8°C at 92.5%. Type of
health care unit didn’t affect to vaccine’s temperature control following the
World Health Organization criteria but the seasonal had significant effect to
vaccine’s temperature control. The study also found that most of the health
care worker did not set the computerize data logger follow the handout of
the company. Based on the study results, adequate equipment, provide
training and supervision about new and current computerize data logger
were recommended to support to maximize the efficacy and effectiveness of
vaccine and cold chain monitoring in health care unit.
