What is the frequency for maintaining a pharmacy temperature log for vaccine freezers?

  1. Once daily

  2. Twice daily

  3. Weekly

  4. Monthly

The correct answer is: Twice daily

A Once daily - This option is incorrect because maintaining a pharmacy temperature log for vaccine freezers requires more frequent monitoring than just once a day. Vaccines are sensitive to temperature changes and need to be monitored closely to ensure they remain effective. C: Weekly - This option is incorrect because a weekly frequency for maintaining a temperature log is too infrequent. Temperature fluctuations can occur within a week and may not be caught in time to prevent damage to the vaccines. D: Monthly - This option is incorrect because a monthly frequency for temperature log maintenance is too infrequent. Monthly monitoring may not catch temperature fluctuations or issues that may arise between monthly checks. Bimonthly log maintenance is also not ideal as it is still not frequent enough to catch potential problems before they arise. Thus, the correct answer is B: Twice daily. This frequency allows for more frequent monitoring to catch any temperature fluctuations or issues that may arise and maintain the effectiveness of the vaccines.
