Vaccine handling practices and conformity to cold chain temperature requirements in selected regions of Tanzania: a descriptive cross-sectional study
In this study, most of the facilities studied were compliant with WHO vaccine storage temperature requirements over a 30-day period. However, significant gaps were identified, including inadequate infrastructure for emergency situations and a lack of prior training on vaccine handling among the majority of personnel.
