The problem was that the freezer of the medical institution that stored the new coronavirus vaccine stopped, and the vaccine for up to about 1000 times could not be used. The cause was a power shortage due to sharing the power supply with other devices. I found out.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided to call for a dedicated power source.
On the 1st, one of the medical institutions where the medical staff was vaccinated in advance said that the ultra-low temperature freezer = deep freezer that stored the vaccine broke down and the vaccine for up to 1032 doses could not be used. There was a report in.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, a company that delivered a deep freezer to a medical institution investigated the cause on the 2nd and found that it was not a malfunction but a power shortage because it shared the same power outlet with multiple devices. about it.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has told medical institutions that have been vaccinated in advance to secure a dedicated power source when using the deep freezer, so it has decided to call attention to medical institutions nationwide. I will.
