Many vaccines must be stored at low temperatures, some below -15°C, and others between 2 and 8°C.[1] If vaccines are not stored correctly they can lose their effectiveness.

As keeping vaccines at the appropriate temperature is vital, photovoltaic refrigerators can be a cost-effective and reliable alternative.
