Preparing for a temperature emergency<\/h2>\n

Backup unit requirements<\/h3>\n

Every provider is required to identify two (2) backup locations where they can move their vaccine in the event of power outages and equipment malfunctions. Both of these locations must be off-site from your location.<\/p>\n

These locations must be large enough for your location\u2019s typical supply of vaccine and meet the temperature monitoring requirements<\/a> of the Immunization program.<\/p>\n

The address and contact information for the back-up locations should be recorded in your vaccine management plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you cannot identify two locations, please reach out to tempcheck@phila.gov<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”margin_top_25″]<\/p>\n
