Try this, it may come out in the coming exam. This question is picked up from gplearning. As far as I could remember it did not appear in Part 1 2008 exam. Cold chain was asked in KFP if I am not mistaken. So, this year it may appear in Single Best Answer. Watch out!
In relation to the storage of vaccines, which one of the following statements is true?
a) Most vaccines should be kept frozen during transportation
b) Most vaccines should be refrigerated between 2 and 8°C
c) Vaccines should be removed from their packaging prior to storage
d) Vaccines can be stored anywhere in a domestic refrigerator
Again, I shall post the answer and explanation after 5 reponses.
BTW, please get the other candidates you know to participate actively to make this blog more interesting.

My answer: B
the answer is B.Iwent for the cold chain seminar after we had the exams .It came out in the KFP.
I thought A?
Answer: B
Vaccines which are not stored and transported correctly will loose potency. The rule for most vaccines is that they should be refrigerated between 2 and 8°C and not frozen. A number of vaccines are inactivated
by freezing. Removal from original packaging briefly exposes vaccines to room temperature and may leave them more susceptible to temperature variations inside the refrigerator - so they should be stored in their original packaging as far as possible. Vaccines should only be stored on the middle and upper shelves of domestic refrigerators. The lower shelves, drawers and the door become too warm if the refrigerator is opened frequently.
my answer would be B
