Considerations When Storing Vaccine in a Refrigerator   

Vaccine may be stored in the refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C (36°F and 46°F) for up to 1 month (31 days).

  • Place vials removed from frozen storage at the same time together in a resealable plastic bag or other container. 
  • Use beyond use date labels to track how long the vaccine has been in the refrigerator. 

After 1 month (31 days), contact the manufacturer for guidance.

  • If directed to discard the vaccine, follow the manufacturer's and your jurisdiction's guidance on proper disposal.
