About this course
Developed jointly by UNICEF and WHO, the Immunization eLearning Initiative provides all immunization staff with access to training in areas deemed vital to the advancement of the Global Vaccine Action Plan and its vision that everyone live a life free from vaccine preventable disease.
This course, Temperature Monitoring in the Vaccine Cold Chain, is an advanced ISCM mini-course that examines one vaccine’s journey in the fictitious country of Makari from airport arrival to the point of immunization. It observes six places in the journey where the vaccine is at risk of damaging temperatures — for example, in the district store and during in-country transport. During this learning experience, you will examine clues, uncover information, and speak with a supply-chain expert. After completing this course, you will understand how to examine information and uncover issues that impact temperature monitoring.
Methodology
This course is composed of self-guided, animated tutorials authored by subject matter experts.
Structure
This course is intended to provide valuable short-format learning. It includes one brief e-learning module.
Target audience
