Vaccine Storage Equipment. A dormitory-style refrigerator (a small combination refrigerator-freezer unit outfitted with a single external door) is not acceptable for storage of VFC vaccines. See next page for examples. Beginning in 2013, the Maine Immunization Program will start conducting separate Vaccines for Children (VFC) and Immunization Rate Improvement (AFIX) site visits. We will also be making unannounced visits to review provider storage and handling practices. These unannounced visits may occur at any time throughout the year, so please ensure continued adherence to VFC storage and handling requirements. Additionally, each enrolled and active VFC provider site must participate in an educational training during each calendar year. Guidance on this requirement will be sent when available. To fill out and submit your Provider Agreement, Log in to ImmPact and please do the following:

Vaccine Storage Equipment. Please indicate the type of unit(s) currently being used by your practice to store vaccines. Identify each unit below by providing corresponding name as shown on your ImmPact temperature log(s) report. Reminder: A copy of the Storage and Handling Plan must be submitted with the Provider Agreement. Keep a copy of this Plan in a location easily accessible by all staff and on your storage units.

Vaccine Storage Equipment. 1. Two types of storage units are acceptable: 1) a refrigerator that has a separate freezer compartment with a separate exterior door or; 2) stand-alone refrigerators and freezers. (a) The refrigerator(s) or freezer(s) used for vaccine storage must: (1) be able to maintain required vaccine storage temperatures year-round; (2) be large enough to hold the year’s largest inventory; NOTE: A dormitory style refrigerator (a small combination refrigerator-freezer unit outfitted with a single external door) is never acceptable for permanent storage of public vaccines. Permanent storage is defined as having the vaccine supply maintained in the unit 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Dormitory-style refrigerators are not adequate for long-term storage of biological products; they cannot be used to store vaccine on a permanent basis due to their inability to reliably maintain temperatures needed to keep vaccine within required ranges to prevent vaccine loss caused by inappropriate temperature excursions. The primary concern with dormitory- style units is the presence of the freezer compartment co-located inside the refrigerator compartment, which creates an environment that places refrigerated vaccine at high risk for freezing. (3) be dedicated to the storage of vaccines (food and beverages must not be stored in a vaccine storage unit because this practice results in frequent opening of the door and destabilization of the temperature). (b) Thermometers must be certified and calibrated. (1) have a working thermometer certified in accordance with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards placed in a central area inside each storage compartment (these are available from the MIP). (2) Provider will utilize a continuous recording thermometer or a digital thermometer with a bio safe glycol encased or similar temperature buffered probe to measure vaccine storage unit temperatures. (3) Provider will maintain a set of readily available back up thermometers with valid certificates of calibration.

DME may be classified as a rental item or a purchased item. In most cases, this plan only pays for a rental DME up to our allowance for a purchased DME. Repairs and supplies for rental DME are included in the rental allowance. Medical supplies are consumable supplies that are disposable and not intended for re- use. Medical supplies require an order by a physician and must be essential for the care or treatment of an illness, injury, or congenital defect.
