NYS DOH -COVID-19 Vaccine Transport, Tracking and Temperature Excursion Updated Guidance

NYS DOH issued guidance related to transport, tracking and temperature excursion of the COVID -19 vaccine. Routine transport of vaccine is not recommended. Each transport increases the risk of exposing vaccine to inappropriate storage conditions, which compromises the viability of vaccines. However, in certain situations transporting vaccine may be necessary. See full Transport Guidance & Temperature Excursion Report attached.
