Simulation exercises at regional vaccine warehouses in Ukraine

💉 Vaccines save millions of lives every year, and their effectiveness depends on the reliability of the cold chain. This is a system that ensures the correct storage and transport conditions for vaccines on their way from the manufacturer to the patient. 🧊 To be prepared for wartime challenges, the WHO Office in Ukraine, together with the Ministry of Health and the Public Health Centre, is conducting simulation exercises at regional warehouses. Participants practise actions in various crisis scenarios: from temporary power outages in refrigeration equipment to large-scale emergencies requiring complete evacuation of vaccines. The simulation exercises aim to: ✅ assess staff readiness to respond to emergencies; ✅ test and adapt standard operating procedures to regional conditions; ✅ strengthen coordination and effectiveness of actions in crisis situations. During the training sessions, specialists from regional Centres for Disease Control and Prevention learn to make quick decisions to ensure compliance with cold chain requirements and to guarantee the effectiveness of vaccines. Such training is an important step towards ensuring that Ukrainians have access to highly effective vaccines even in the most difficult conditions.
