Internal Vaccine Stability Studies?
Have any of your institutions completed vaccine stability studies to determine stability outside of manufacturer-recommended storage requirements (that you'd be willing to share)? I'm interested to understand whether refrigerated vaccines (storage recommendations 2-8C) that are exposed to temperatures <0C are stable. The vaccine manufacturers I've contacted do not have data/have not studied the vaccines this way and so they cannot support their use in these situations.
Thanks in advance!
