The kit enables immunization of people affected by an outbreak in refugee camps or an open setting. It is also used for setting up measles vaccination during an influx of refugees.
It contains the cold chain, logistics and medical equipment needed to quickly set up an emergency vaccination campaign. The kit provides the necessary items for the immunization of 10,000 people. The refrigerators and freezers are enough to supply five vaccination teams.
The kit’s modular design allows adapting orders to existing equipment and coping with an increase in the target population. Additional modules can be ordered separately. If a large number of optional items are needed, it is better to order complete modules than separate items. The refrigeration and passive cold chain modules have the storage capacity for vaccinating up to 20,000 people per day.
Vaccines must be ordered separately.
In accordance with the WHO policy on injection safety, always use auto-disable syringes and single-use safety boxes for collecting, transporting and incinerating sharps during mass vaccination campaigns.
Before placing an order, it is necessary to:
- Know the number of people that will be vaccinated, the number of teams that will be set up, and the duration of the campaign.
- Make sure that existing equipment is actually available and in good working order. Generally, a storage volume of 22 to 42 litres is needed for each 10,000 doses of measles vaccine (not including solvent). All of the refrigerators used for EPI have this capacity.
- Find out about the ice pack freezing capacity:
- Vapour compression freezers (freezers that have a compressor and run on electricity) can freeze 10 to 30 kg/24 hours (that is, fifteen to fifty 0.6-litre ice packs/24 hours).
- Solar models do not have sufficient freezing capacity for a vaccination campaign.
- Know the availability and reliability of round-the-clock electricity. If in doubt, order the energy kit. The generator can power a maximum of 8 refrigerators.
Inventory the vaccine transport and monitoring supplies. Each team should have its own supplies. For additional cold boxes and vaccine carriers, order the cold chain transport module.
| Indigo® vaccine carriers are not included in this kit. If the vaccination strategy calls for their use, they must be ordered separately (they are used, above all, by mobile teams). |
