As part of the project Optimize traveling exhibit—an exhibit featuring supply chain innovations being developed and tested in different countries around the world—this banner emphasizes the importance of, and methods for, preventing accidental freezing of heat-sensitive products in vaccine carriers. It illustrates how different configurations of ice packs affect temperature and shows typical temperature readings of cold chain vaccine carriers containing frozen ice packs, conditioned ice packs, cool water packs, and no ice.
