1. COLD CHAIN SYSTEM AND
ADVERSE REACTION
FOLLOWING IMMUNIZATION
(AEFI)
DR. MANOJ KUMAR R
Pediatric Jr.
2. The Cold Chain
• The "cold chain" is a system of storage and
transport of vaccines at low temperature
from the manufacturer to the actual
vaccination site.
• The cold chain system is necessary
because vaccine failure may occur due to
failure to store and transport under strict
temperature controls.
3. Why have the Cold Chain?
If vaccines are exposed to excessive
They lose their potency
Heat
Freezing
Light
4. In general
• All Vaccines lose potency on exposure to
heat above +80 C
• Some Vaccines lose potency when
exposed to freezing temperatures
• The damage is irreversible

Use voltage stabilizer
Tape the switches in ON position so that there s no
accidental switching off.
17. Contd…
•
•
•
•
•

33. AEFI
Definition:
Adverse event following immunization is any
untoward medical occurrence which follows
immunization and which does not necessarily
have a causal relationship with the usage of
the vaccine.
35. Types of AEFIs by severity and frequency
• 1. Common minor AEFIs
• 2. Severe AEFIs
• 3. Serious AEFIs
36. • Common minor AEFIs: A vaccine induces immunity by causing the
recipient‟s immune system to react to the vaccine.
• Therefore, local reaction, fever and systemic symptoms can result as
part of the immune response.
• In addition, some of the vaccines components (e.g. adjuvant,
stabilizers or preservatives) can lead to reactions.
37. • Severe AEFIs and serious AEFIs: An AEFI will be considered serious if
it results in death, requires hospitalization, results in persistent or
significant disability/ incapacity or a cluster (two or more cases) of
AEFIs occur in a geographical area.
• AEFIs that are not minor but do not result in death, hospitalization or
disability are categorized as severe.
• Severe‟ is used to describe the intensity of a specific event (as in
mild, moderate or severe). The event itself, however, may be of
relatively minor medical significance.

42. Reporting
• The reporting of serious/severe AEFI is done using Case Reporting Format
(CRF) (formerly First Information Report)
• which is prepared by the Medical Officer of the PHC or the reporter and
then sent to the District Immunization Officer within 24 hours of getting the
information of the case.
• In the next 24 hours, the DIO verifies the case details and sends it
simultaneously to the state and national level.
• The CRF gives only the most basic details of the affected person, vaccines
and session details and status at the time of filling the format.
43. • The other channel of reporting serious and minor AEFI from the level of
occurrence of the AEFI up to the national level is through monthly progress
reports.
• This is done using existing monthly immunization reporting formats such as
the ones for National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), Health Management
Information system (HMIS) etc.
• It is necessary for the peripheral health staff to submit a NIL monthly report
in case no AEFI is detected from their area during the month.
• Minor AEFI that are brought to the notice of the health staff as a concern
should be reported and documented in a linelist.
